California Training Institute:  CTI
California Training Institute provides the latest in Human Factors Threat & Error Management training to Law Enforcement, Aviation, Fire, and Park Service personnel.  Our methodology is on the cutting edge of safety management practices today. Mr. Geis is a certified Force Science Analyst in Human Factors.

Our course content provides students with practical expertise to assess threat, and to avoid or mitigate errors that lead to accidents or incidents in the work place.   Our approach centers on a key set of points that enhance teamwork in high-risk settings.  These core skills are widely accepted as the most relevant to highly professional and well-trained personnel operating in high-stakes settings, where safety is critical to promoting positive outcomes.  While recognizing that the operating environment will always possess risk, and that there will always be a variety of contributing factors, threats and errors can be pre-empted when identified, prioritized, and managed before an adverse outcome becomes a reality.

In all environments, individual errors are inevitable due to normal human limitations. The average error rate increases dramatically when stressors such as fatigue and multi-tasking become a part of everyday operations, and when compounded with poor team dynamics, professional and cultural differences, unrealistic expectations, and other complications, job performance effectiveness decreases significantly. 

Our course content builds on basic supervisory and management level skills and provides our students with the specific tools necessary to assess threat and error possibilities.  Topics covered include, situational awareness, decision making, risk management, functional leadership and critical communication skills. 

TEM crosses all industry boundaries and its effectiveness has been well documented.  The focus is on pro-active verses reactive measures, with an attitude of vigilance rather than complacency.  Creating and sustaining a safety culture is the intent and the result of Threat & Error Management training. We are committed to assisting you in taking your organization to an unsurpassed level of safety and productivity.
