This is the first in a two-part series of papers dealing with the area of assessing human errors in high risk complex systems. This first paper outlines thirty-eight approaches of error identification, categorising them into types of error identification approach. The paper then reviews these techniques with respect to a broad range of criteria. Viable and non-viable techniques are identified. ...

educational centers are of those types of organizations to which almost everyone refer during the life to use the services. accordingly, the suitability of safety situation in these organizations is of high importance. the present study aims at investigation of effective factors on safety management in educational-training organizations of metropolises. this study is an applied descriptive rese...

conclusions the results of this study led to the identification of many of the errors and conditions that affect the performance of controllers, providing the ability to define safety and ergonomic interventions to reduce the risk of human error. therefore, the results of this study can be a basis for planning atm to prioritize prevention programs and safety enhancement results the analysis of ...

χ Value in the Chi-square distribution used to test for significant differences between three (or more) independent groups when using the Kruskall-Wallis non-parametric analysis of variance where the dependent variable is measured on an ordinal scale. p Probability of making a type I decision error. U Critical value in the Mann-Whitney U test to test for significant differences between two inde...

Accident and incident analysis is essential to the study of human error and the development of error prevention measures. Human Error research deals essentially with the classification of error and the identification of the causal relation between the error detected and the level of human performance at which it occurred. As a result the literature proposes many error categorization methods and...
