HOP Integration

Aligning your systems, processes and practices with HOP

How does HOP happen?

Generally, HOP begins with a seed of interest from a safety leader or senior executive within an organisation. But how do you nurture that initial spark, and build momentum so that the HOP approach is integrated into your systems, policies and practices, across all areas of an organisation — not just safety?

HOP training for key personnel is often a starting point, but there are many more steps before an organisation can truly learn and improve from both failures (such as incidents) and the successes of normal work.

HOP Integration is the process of ensuring your management systems, processes and practices align with HOP.

Case Studies

Which industries are adopting HOP?

The origins of Human Performance and HOP were founded in the nuclear power and aviation industries. As the concept has evolved, more high-risk industries have been attracted to the principles of HOP, including mining, energy, manufacturing, transport and logistics. However, HOP can be applied to any industry, and the results from organisations that have adopted Human and Organisational Performance are highly impactful.
