A Simulation Model for Estimating Human Error Probability
… of a simulation model which estimates human error probability for humans performing certain tasks in a given scenario. Human error probability is estimated as a function of the type of tasks performed and the number of performance shaping factors. In this work, the Standardized Plant …

Human error contribution to nuclear materials-handling events
… at commercial nuclear reactors with significant human error contributions in order to detail the contribution of human error to fuel-handling activities, emphasizing how latent conditions can directly contribute to events. In particular, procedural inaccuracies often create conditions that lead …

Evaluation of human error probabilities for post-initiating events
… the United States nuclear power plant fleet, and human reliability analysis forms an important portion of the probabilistic risk assessment that demonstrates the safety of sites. Treatment of post-initiating event human error probabilities by three human reliability analysis methods are compared …

On the evaluation of human error probabilities for post-initiating events
Quantification of human error probabilities (HEPs) for the purpose of human reliability assessment (HRA) is very complex. Because of this complexity, the state of the art includes a variety of HRA models, each with its own objectives, scope and quantification method. In addition to varying methods …

Essays on Human Error in Electronic Health Records (EHR) Information Security
… a management framework designed to mitigate human error in information security, aiming to enhance the resilience of EHR systems to make them less attractive to cybercriminals. The framework enhances Reason's Resiliency Model by incorporating a socially oriented management approach based on …

An Analysis of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services and Human Error Contributors to Accidents
… the need arises for additional analysis of the human factors that play a role in accidents. This study addresses this need through an examination of human error and contributing factors in HEMS accidents. Data was collected through the review of NTSB accident reports of HEMS accidents. Instances …

An analysis of the methodological and human error within momentary time sampling data collection
… between observations, the less methodological error will be introduced into MTS. However, the use of short-interval windows requires additional effort on the part of the teacher, and data collection becomes potentially more susceptible to competition with the teacher's other responsibilities. …

Human error and interactions with technology in safety-critical workplaces: Learning from the aviation industry
Humans are intrinsically motivated to avoid making mistakes in the workplace, yet human errors continue to occur. This research considered the problem of human error in safety-critical workplaces that is often associated with damage to infrastructure, injuries or even death. The study began with a …

Human Error in Commercial Fishing Vessel Accidents: An Investigation Using the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System
… a version of Wiegmann and Shappell’s (2003) Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS), specifically for commercial fishing industry vessels (HFACS-FV), using ten years of data documenting the causes of fatal accidents in the commercial fishing industry. For this study, the …

A stochastic control framework for the design of observational brain-computer interfaces based on human error potentials
Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) allow human subjects to interact with exogenous systems through neural signals. The goal of this interaction may be to induce behaviors or properties in either the exogenous system or the human subject. In this thesis, we develop a novel framework for designing BCIs …

The A+B+C+ Method : a technique for achieving optimum balance of three critical barriers to human error
… may be slowing, particularly in the area of human performance. The nuclear industry has been and will be heavily dependent on rigid structure and centralized organization. Defense- in- depth is a key element in the prevention of human error or equipment malfunction and will continue to be so. …

Impact of human errors on accidents in the oil and gas industry in Bahrain
… One of the main causes of these accidents is human error. Human error is an improper decision or behaviour of any worker in the workplace. In the Oil and Gas (O&G) industry, human error constitutes as the largest contributor of over 80% of all accidents. Although the O&G industry is a pillar …

Towards Developing A Theory of Failure Causality In Operations Management
… both OM triggering factors, as well as their human error antecedents. Using data from the US Department of Energy, the significance of these factors and their relative influence are analyzed for two different severity levels and three different types of human error. Results show that human …

The identification and measurement of safety management systems : towards a behavioural response approach
… aim of identifying latent conditions and active errors in terms of accident causation. The author intends to show that human error is a consequence, not a cause, and that is shaped and provoked by upstream workplace and organisational factors. Only by understanding the context that caused the …
