WHAT IS THE CHAPMAN FACTOR?
Â
The Chapman Factor, founded by Dr Meredith Chapman, brings together Workplace Health and Safety, Human–Horse Safety, Human Factors, Rehabilitation, Research and Expert Insight.
Every outcome is influenced by factors.
Workplace Health & Safety
In the workplace, multiple factors influence health and safety, including people, systems, behaviour, the environment, and risk.
Managing safety systems is about more than just compliance.
Â
Â
Human-Horse Interactions
Safer Human–Horse interactions must focus on the triad:Â
Human-Horse-Environment.Â
Factors include experience, behaviour, communication and the environment.
Let's take Human–Horse Safety seriously.
Â
Our Personal Lives
In our personal lives, our experiences, beliefs, behaviours, and choices can shape our relationships and drive change.
Sometimes the most important question is not what is happening around you, but who you are becoming.
Â
Â
 Â
The Chapman Factor is about looking beyond what happened and understanding what influenced it.
Â
The work brings together professional experience, research and human understanding to explore:
Â
People. Safety. Behaviour. Change.
