Human Factors and Behavioural Safety
Accidents and cases of occupational ill-health are commonly associated with aspects of human behaviour and the potential for human error.

* the sensory and perceptual processes of people
* behavioural factors, such as attitude, motivation and personality
* the process of attitude change
* theories of personal risk taking and accident * the importance of good communication, change management and stress management
