Team Situation Awareness for Process Control Safety and Performance

چکیده
This paper d@nes situation awareness (SA) and discusses its importance to operator-machine system safety and functioning in the context ofprocess control activities. Specifical[v, identified are relationships of human detection of critical process cues conveying the status of automated control systems and operator interpretation of the meaning and relevance of such information to the potential for negative incidents in chemical processing. Beyond individual operator SA in interacting with control systems, intraand interwork team SA are discussed for supporting individual attainment of process control responsibilities. Factors critical to team SA are discussed. “Road blocks” to team SA are also analytically examined. Lastly, methods for assessing individual and team SA are reviewed and vehicles for relating outcomes oJ’ these methods to changes in process control operator and team behavior to improve human-machine system safety and performance are relayed.

Identifying, Evaluating and Determining of The Most Important Predictive Variables of Safety Situation Awareness Using Fuzzy Logic Approach
Introduction: Safety situation awareness is an important element affecting operator's reliability and safety performance, which is influenced by various variables. Identification of these variables and their relationship will play a major role in optimizing control measures. The present study was conducted for this purpose. Material and Methods: This study was based on the situation awareness,...
متن کاملMeasuring Shared and Team Situation Awareness of Emergency Decision Makers
Large scale emergencies are usually responded to by a team of emergency managers or a number of sub teams for safety and efficiency. Team coordination has attracted considerable research interest, especially from the cognitive, human factors, and ergonomic aspects because shared situation awareness (SSA) and team situation awareness (TSA) of team members are critical for optimal decision making...
متن کاملStudying Operator behaviour During a Simple but safety critical Task
A loss of sufficient Situation Awareness may lead to human errors, possibly resulting in accidents. Situation Awareness is often conceptually described in terms of operators’ correct perception and understanding of a situation. It is though becoming increasingly clear, however, that team SA is an important concept as well. An initial idea for a continuous measure of Team Situation Awareness was...
متن کاملTeam situation awareness and the anticipation of patient progress during ICU rounds.
BACKGROUND The ability of medical teams to develop and maintain team situation awareness (team SA) is crucial for patient safety. Limited research has investigated team SA within clinical environments. This study reports the development of a method for investigating team SA during the intensive care unit (ICU) round and describes the results. METHODS In one ICU, a sample of doctors and nurses...
متن کاملMeasuring team situation awareness in decentralized command and control environments.
Decentralized command and control settings like those found in the military are rife with complexity and change. These settings typically involve dozens, if not hundreds to thousands, of heterogeneous players coordinating in a distributed fashion in a dynamically networked battlefield laden with sensor data, intelligence reports, communications, and plans emanating from many different perspecti...
