Did you know risk and risk management are human endeavours involving human perception, decision making and action strategies?

Did you know human factors initiatives are primarily risk management activities? Much work is being done in both disciplines to improve both overall system performance and human well-being to the extent that now the effective management of risks and human factors is recognised as priority activities in organisations seeking to obtain and sustain operating excellence.

The question remains – Can further advancements be identified and developed through an inter-disciplinary approach?
