TECHSTAR TRAINING

Founded by Hop Howlett in 1988, TechStar is a unique training and publishing company devoted to teaching industrial facility staffs the value of systematic operations, effective equipment maintenance, and impactful leadership... TechStar focuses on improving human performance through the analysis of industrial mishaps. By emphasizing the importance of skills such as pre-job briefings, standardized procedures, critical parameter monitoring, and independent verification, facility personnel learn productive processes that disrupt the accumulation of critical accident contributing factors... TechStar operates on the premise that there are simple, fundamental operating team traits that are required for the safe and reliable operation of an industrial facility. We call these traits Vital Operating Skills. TechStar has found that, when looking at industrial failures, there are underlying factors in almost all cases that involve failing to apply one or more of the vital skills.
