The Human Factors Safety Training Institute (HFSTI) is intended to provide beginners and advanced users with the skills, knowledge and abilities to utilize the HFACS system effectively. The courses can be used to satisfy certain HFACS certification requirements. There are currently five available courses:
1. Introduction to HFACS is intended to be a free online course designed to provide the participant with an overview of the HFACS system. The audience is assumed to be safety professionals exploring options for implementing an accident investigation and analysis system in their workplace.
Course Title: Introduction to HFACS
Medium: CBT
Course length: Approx 15 minutes

3. Basic HFACS is designed to be an entry level or review course for interested practitioners involved in the accident investigation/analysis process. It is assumed that these are safety practitioners with some experience as accident investigators. It does not delve deeply into analysis and intervention; rather, it sets the participant up for the “HFACS Analyst course” to be developed at a later date. We just want the participant at this stage to correctly identify which level and subcategory of the Taxonomy the causal factors may reside.
