How Much Does Human Error Cost your Company?

Cost of human error

• Injuries & deaths
• Poor product quality
• Major financial losses
• Equipment downtime
• Customer complaints
• Bad press
• Operational failures
• Regulatory conflict

Are these numbers acceptable?

• Nearly 3 million nonfatal workplace injuries & illnesses were reported by private United States industry employers in 2014.
• A 2011 study in the "Journal of Patient Safety" estimated that somewhere between 210,000 and 440,000 patients each year who go to the hospital for care suffer some type of preventable harm that contributes to their deaths.

Do we need more rules?

Practice does not equal procedure.

Human error is not an ending point. It's a starting point.
