“…Other attempts at collecting human‐error data have been initiated via the use of licensee event reports (LERs)[22 ]. Any event that occurs at a US nuclear power station in violation of its technical specification must be reported as an LER as part of its licensing requirement, hence LERs form a mandatory reporting scheme controlled by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (USNRC).…”

For many years there has been increasing concern about the effects of human error in complex system safety and reliability. This concern has been increased owing to accidents such as Chernobyl, Bhopal, Herald of Free Enterprise, Three Mile Island and the Kegworth air disaster. In the vast majority of these accidents, human error has played a critical role in the events precipitating the accident. Such accidents can in theory be predicted and prevented by risk assessment, in particular assessing the human contribution to risk. However, the collection of human‐error data has proved a difficult field for the past 30 years, and yet industry would benefit from the existence of a robust human‐error database. Provides therefore a brief historical resume of past human‐error databases, and discusses data collection and the inherent problems associated with data‐collection schemes. Goes on to outline a human‐error database currently being developed at Birmingham University, and presents information on regularly quantified human‐error types. Finally, gives a general synopsis of the research and provides a selection of real human‐error data points.

In the operation of commercial nuclear power plants, large guidebooks have been prepared, documenting proper procedures in the event of various hardware or control failures. Although recognized as having a major impact on overall system safety, human error has not received as much attention from the standpoint of anticipating specific errors and designing against them. Using system diagrams constructed from overall plan design diagrams, it was possible to define subsystem dependencies. It was then possible to construct 80 realistic operation and maintenance errors and control malfunctions, to analyze their symptoms and effects, and to construct sequences of actions to mitigate the situation or to prevent serious consequences. Preventative as well as corrective measures were developed. Methods employed in this study appear to have general application in system safety.
