It also looks at how safety at work is primarily at risk from simple tasks and making poor decisions. Human error tends to be the main cause for mistakes: intentionally or unintentionally.

With interactive videos and questions throughout, learners are invited to consider their own errors in the workplace, how they can take steps to reduce these errors, and what they can do to improve their safety.
