Human error continues to be one of the leading causes of deviations, non-conformances, and regulatory citations in GMP-regulated environments. But here's the truth: human error is rarely the true root cause—it often points to deeper flaws in systems, processes, training, or design. This webinar dives into the psychology of human error and offers practical, actionable frameworks for preventing it. Learn how to redesign systems, improve documentation and training, and build a culture of quality that aligns with 21 CFR Part 211 requirements. If you're responsible for operational compliance or quality assurance in a pharmaceutical or life sciences organization, this is a must-attend session.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
Human errors are not just frustrating—they’re expensive, non-compliant, and largely preventable. This session addresses the silent system flaws that often set personnel up for failure. We'll explore critical questions: Are your SOPs clear and actionable? Is your training tailored to real-world challenges? Does your environment support or sabotage performance? This webinar will help you identify hidden root causes and provide ready-to-use tools to reduce repeat deviations and CAPA recurrence. It's not just about fixing errors—it's about designing operations where errors are unlikely to happen in the first place.
