Consulting & Advisory

The team at GMR Human Performance work with a diverse array of organisations and we share the good practice that we see from across them all. 

Many of our team have been involved in avoidable accidents and incidents and we are motivated by making an organisation incrementally better at what it does.

We can help you to avoid “Pathemata Mathemata” or learning the hard way by using academic and bespoke in-house tools that help detect organisational drift from design through to operations.

Our tools and models will help you make sense of this drift and help you confirm if it is a risk or a benefit to your people and organisation.

Together we will build a map from the drift we find, and translate that into numerous 1% gains across your business that will ultimately help you leverage a much larger return on your investment into the human factors discipline.

BAM Nuttall and Volkers Wessels M5 Oldbury Viaduct Renewal Scheme

The challenge

The M5 Oldbury Viaduct Renewal project, the largest scaffolding endeavor in Europe, necessitated the implementation of Human Factors (HF) measures after a severe accident left an individual paralysed due to a fall. This incident arose when a seasoned scaffolder and supervisor unintentionally overlooked harness safety. Regrettably, these instances largely went unreported, preventing the joint venture (JV) from being fully aware.

With a goal was to enhance HF practices among frontline workers. 

The solution

Initially, we gathered and reviewed data from observation cards to pinpoint potential problems. The data highlighted reduced trust due to low reporting.

In response, we structured a Human Factors workshop focused on fostering a Just Culture within the BMV. This workshop also educated supervisors about the observation card system’s protective function for them and their teams, while offering guidance on contributing effectively to broader safety initiatives.

The outcome

There was a significant increase in self reporting resulting in a gradual and unwavering increase in trust within the BMV project.  Notably, there was a decrease in the reporting of behaviors, potentially correlated with a perceived reduction in risk-taking among the workforce.

The challenge

As part of a broader leadership development programme, the NHS requested a number of Human Performance workshops to be delivered to senior midwifery leaders. 

The solution

The workshops were designed to help leaders identify and understand the performance-influencing factors that exist in healthcare.  Through interactive sessions, experiential learning, and group exercises, we helped the attending health boards to grow a better understanding of human performance against the context of their own operations.

The outcome

A leadership cadre that felt better equipped to address incidents and occurrences in the workplace, but also felt that they had enough knowledge to reduce and mitigate future incidents through a greater understanding of the human contribution to organisational performance.

An International Airport

The challenge

The challenge was to bring clarity to the insurance risks at a busy overseas airport.  Our goal was to identify potential accident scenarios and evaluate the efficiency of current risk management measures and safeguards in order to bolster confidence when arranging insurance coverage.

The solution

Our team gave broad consideration to potential, credible accident scenarios against existing controls and barriers, to determine whether current levels of insurance cover were sufficient.  This involved an evidence-based assessment of safety management plans, systems, and associated processes against credible accident scenarios to help identify risk reduction opportunities.

The outcome

The project was successful in identifying a number of safety risk reduction opportunities.  We delivered independent assurance of associated levels of insurance cover across all aspects of the airport operation.
