Completing an AESOP Mini-Huddle will enable you to accurately determine the level of risk involved in any given task, project or event.
This brief exercise works great both on an individual, as well as a team level. The Mini-Huddle is an extension of the lessons and concepts presented in the full Error Prevention Online Training course.
For over 20 years, EPI clients have seen beneficial results from taking their teams through AESOP & Error Prevention Training.
AESOP & the Mini-Huddle
AESOP is a methodology developed by the Error Prevention Institute designed to ensure:
All personnel associated with an operational assignment are familiar with and understand their roles and responsibilities so the risks of accidents can be identified, communicated and mitigated.
AESOP is an acronym that guides you through a 5-step checklist. The breakout session that takes you through this process is called an AESOP Mini-Huddle.
