determination of Human Error probabilities for offshore platform musters
Journal of Loss Prevention in The Process Industries, 2005Co-Authors: Dino G Dimattia, Faisal Khan, Paul AmyotteAbstract:The focus of this work is on prediction of Human Error probabilities during the process of emergency musters on offshore oil and gas production platforms. Due to a lack of Human Error databases, and in particular Human Error data for offshore platform musters, an expert judgment technique, the Success Likelihood Index Methodology (SLIM), was adopted as a vehicle to predict Human Error probabilities. Three muster scenarios of varying severity (man overboard, gas release, and fire and explosion) were studied in detail. A panel of 24 judges active in the offshore oil and gas industry provided data for both the weighting and rating of six performance shaping factors. These data were subsequently processed by means of SLIM to calculate the probability of success for 18 muster actions ranging from point of muster initiator to the final actions in the temporary safe refuge (TSR). The six performance shaping factors considered in this work were stress, complexity, training, experience, event factors and atmospheric factors.

Human Error probability index for offshore platform musters
2004Co-Authors: Dino G DimattiaAbstract:The prediction of Human Error probabilities and their consequences in offshore platform musters, through a Human Error probability index (HEPI), provides a proactive quantitative approach for the inclusion of Human factors in risk assessments. Due to the lack of Human Error databases and in particular, Human Error data for platform musters, an expert judgment technique, the Success Likelihood Index Methodology (SLIM) was adopted as a vehicle to predict Human Error probabilities for three credible muster scenarios of varying severity.

Human Error: A significant information security issue
Transactions of the American Nuclear Society, 1994Co-Authors: W.w. BanksAbstract:One of the major threats to information security Human Error is often ignored or dismissed with statements such as {open_quotes}There is not much we can do about it.{close_quotes} This type of thinking runs counter to reality because studies have shown that, of all systems threats, Human Error has the highest probability of occurring and that, with professional assistance, Human Errors can be prevented or significantly reduced Security analysts often overlook Human Error as a major threat; however, other professionals such as Human factors engineers are trained to deal with these probabilistic occurrences and mitigate them. In a recent study 55% of the respondents surveyed considered Human Error as the most important security threat. Documentation exists to show that Human Error was a major cause of the consequences suffered at Three Mile Island, Chernobyl, Bhopal, and the Exxon tanker, Valdez. Ironically, causes of Human Error can usually be quickly and easily eliminated.

Human Error: an overlooked but significant information security problem
Computers & Security, 1993Co-Authors: Charles Cresson Wood, W.w. BanksAbstract:Human Error continues to be a major computer security issue, although many contemporary information security practitioners appear to have forgotten about it. This paper discusses why the practitioner should reestablish Human Error as a high priority issue worthy of significant and continuous attention. Statistics reflecting loss experience are presented to recontextualize Human Error as a serious threat. The authors present cases of Human Error to underscore its importance. These cases are also used to draw attention to several distinctions about Human Error which can be used to initiate analytic work so that Human Error can be mitigated and prevented. The authors suggest that standard techniques for dealing with Errors be brought into the normal practice of information security. These techniques include probabilistic risk assessment, Human reliability assessment, and task profile analyses. Human Errors- whether they are found in systems design, programming, operation, or other computer-related activities-are a serious threat to the viability of computer-based systems, and thereby to the industrialized world at large.

Human Error risk analysis in offshore emergencies
Safety Science, 2010Co-Authors: T Deacon, Paul Amyotte, Faisal KhanAbstract:Human factors play an important role in the completion of emergency procedures. Human factors analysis is rooted in the concept that Humans make Errors, and the frequency and consequences of these Errors are related to work environment, work culture, and procedures. This can be accounted for in the design of equipment, structures, processes, and procedures. As stress increases, the likelihood of Human Error also increases. Offshore installations are among the harshest and most stressful work environments in the world. The consequences of Human Error in an offshore emergency can be severe. A method has been developed to evaluate the risk of Human Error during offshore emergency musters. Obtaining empirical data was a difficult process, and often little information could be drawn from it. This was especially an issue in determining the consequences of failure to complete muster steps. Based on consequences from past incidents in the offshore industry and probabilities of Human Error, the level of risk and its tolerability are determined. Using the ARAMIS (accidental risk assessment methodology for industries) approach to safety barrier analysis, a protocol for choosing and evaluating safety measures to reduce and re-assess the risk was developed. The method is assessed using a case study, the Ocean Odyssey incident, to determine its effectiveness. The results of the methodology agree with the analysis of survivor experiences of the Ocean Odyssey incident.

A Review of Human Error in Marine Engine Maintenance
TransNav the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation, 2020Co-Authors: Rabiul Islam, Mp Anantharaman, Faisal Khan, GaraniyaAbstract:Maritime safety involves minimizing Error in all aspects of the marine system. Human Error has received much importance, being responsible for about 80% of the maritime accident worldwide. Currently, more attention has been focused to reduce Human Error in marine engine maintenance. On-board marine engine maintenance activities are often complex, where seafarers conduct maintenance activities in various marine environmental (i.e. extreme weather, ship motions, noise, and vibration) and operational (i.e. work overload and stress) conditions. These environmental and operational conditions, in combination with generic Human Error tendencies, results in innumerable forms of Error. There are numerous accidents that happened due to the Human Error during the maintenance activities of a marine engine. The most severe Human Error results in accidents due to is a loss of life. Moreover, there are other consequences too such as delaying the productivity of marine operations which results in the financial loss. This study reviews methods that are currently available for identifying, reporting and managing Human Error in marine engine maintenance. As a basis for this discussion, authors provide an overview of approaches for investigating Human Error, and a description of marine engine maintenance activities and environmental and operational characteristics.

development of a monograph for Human Error likelihood assessment in marine operations
Science & Engineering Faculty, 2017Co-Authors: Rabiul Islam, Rouzbeh Abbassi, Vikram Garaniya, Faisal KhanAbstract:Human Error is a dominant factor in marine operations, on a daily basis many accidents occur due to Human Error during maintenance activities of ships. Assessment of the likelihood of Human Error is essential to minimize accidents and incidents during maintenance operations of marine engines. Most of the current techniques to estimate Human Error Probability (HEP) require significant technical and manpower (expert) resources. The main aim of this study is to develop a monograph for assessing the likelihood of Human Error in marine operations that can be applied for instant decision making. Due to the lack of Human Error data for marine operations, the Success Likelihood Index Method (SLIM) is used to estimate HEP. The developed monograph can be helpful for chief engineers or captains in the decision making process for various scheduled and unscheduled maintenance operations. This monograph could also be used as guidance for ship owners, operators, masters and classification societies to better prepare, prioritise and sort maintenance activities for safe and reliable marine operations. It can serve as a helpful tool to reduce the potential of accident occurrence.

Behind Human Error, second edition
2010Co-Authors: David Woods, Sidney Dekker, Richard Cook, Leila Johannesen, Nadine B. SarterAbstract:Human Error is cited over and over as a cause of incidents and accidents. The result is a widespread perception of a "Human Error problem", and solutions are thought to lie in changing the people or their role in the system. For example, we should reduce the Human role with more automation, or regiment Human behavior by stricter monitoring, rules or procedures. But in practice, things have proved not to be this simple. The label "Human Error" is prejudicial and hides much more than it reveals about how a system functions or malfunctions.

predicting design induced pilot Error using het Human Error template a new formal Human Error identification method for flight decks
Aeronautical Journal, 2006Co-Authors: Neville A. Stanton, Sidney Dekker, Don Harris, Paul M Salmon, Jason Demagalski, Andrew Marshall, Mark S Young, Thomas WaldmannAbstract:Human factors certification criteria are being developed for large civil aircraft with the objective of reducing the incidence of design-induced Error on the flight deck. Many formal Error identification techniques currently exist which have been developed in non-aviation contexts but none have been validated for use to this end. This paper describes a new Human Error identification technique (HET - Human Error template) designed specifically as a diagnostic tool for the identification of design-induced Error on the flight deck. HET is benchmarked against three existing techniques (SHERPA systematic Human Error reduction and prediction approach; Human Error HAZOP - hazard and operability study; and HEIST - Human Error In systems tool). HET outperforms all three existing techniques in a validation study comparing predicted Errors to actual Errors reported during an approach and landing task in a modern, highly automated commercial aircraft. It is concluded that HET should provide a useful tool as a adjunct to the proposed Human factors certification process. Language: en
