This report describes and comments on the nature of human error and methods for predicting the risk from human error as part of a risk analysis study. Progress in quantification techniques is also reviewed in the light of current methodology. Details are given of an accident and human error classification scheme (TAXAC) which focuses on the interactions of human activities in an organisational setting. Guidance notes are provided for the use of the scheme, along with examples of its application. |
