Human-factor errors are among the most common causes of accidents in technical and industrial environments — and unclear documentation often plays a key role.

This workshop explores how Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100) can help reduce misinterpretation and support safer, more reliable task execution.

Through a mix of theory and hands-on exercises, participants will learn how to identify linguistic risk factors in safety instructions and procedures, and how to rewrite them for clarity, compliance, and usability.

Using real examples, the session highlights how applying STE writing rules not only improves readability and translation consistency but also supports human performance and operational safety.

By the end of the workshop, participants will understand how clear language can actively mitigate human-factor risks and enhance safety communication in maintenance, operations, and training contexts.
