| Abstract |
The first of these two papers discusses probabilistic risk assessment and human reliability assessment and reviews 12 techniques for the identification of human errors in human-machine systems. An initial assessment is made of the techniques which range from simple error classifications to sophisticated software packages based on models of human performance. The second paper compares the way these techniques perform against a range of criteria. While there are techniques available for human error identification, there is significant scope for improvement; areas for further research and development are suggested. |
