With YOUFactors, our mission is to unlock everyone’s potential to reduce human errors, to improve safety and well-being as well as to enhance efficiency and performance in their everyday life – not only at the workplace.
When it comes to safety, there's no room for mistakes. It's crucial not only to build better habits but also to learn the techniques that make safety a seamless part of your daily routine. However, we often forget to practice these skills consistently and for the long term. Whether it takes 21, 66, or 90 days to create lasting change, excellence in safety comes from continuous learning and practice.
That's why we created YOUFactors—your digital companion for mastering human error reduction. With YOUFactors, you'll not only learn essential safety techniques but also develop the habits that make safety second nature.
YOUFactors, a brand of SafeStart, has been at the forefront of revolutionizing safety training for over 25 years by tackling human error as a key factor in reducing accidents and injuries.
In the early 1990s, Larry Wilson, SafeStart's founder and author, analysed hundreds of workplace incidents and coached clients on safety observations. His growing conviction that addressing human factors could significantly cut accidents led him to focus on identifying the root causes of incidents and developing techniques to disrupt the “state-to-error-risk” pattern, aiming to prevent accidents.
Initially targeting workplace safety with reductions in incident rates of up to 50%, Larry's methodology quickly expanded to enhance “human error reduction” beyond the workplace, improving both safety and performance.
Driven by companies’ growing need for smarter people development, YOUFactors was launched in 2020 as the personal companion that helps employees reduce human error across all aspects of their life – not just safety management. Building on SafeStart’s behavioural safety concepts and harnessing the power of digital nudges, the YOUFactors app goes beyond the typical online learning platform to support individuals in developing the skills and habits they need for a safer life and improved performance, both at home and in the workplace.
SafeStart’s global reach is a testament to our success.
