“…Other factors related to humans can also influence human performance and judgment while performing their tasks, especially in terms of BRM. Machine factors, media factors, and management factors also strongly influence the human condition and performance [15], [17], [21]. The EPC factors established by William [9] also include some that are related to 4M (man, machine, media, and management) factors; yet, this method is still general.…”

Human error plays a vital role in causing maritime accidents. This paper presents the analysis of human factors in 52 grounding accident reports of ships greater than 10,000 GT retrieved from 11 national investigation boards. In this study, the categorization of error-producing conditions (EPCs) from the Human Error Assessment and Reduction Technique (HEART) methodology to 4M (Man, Machine, Media, and Management) framework, EPC-4M was carried out. This study aims to categorize the EPCs to the 4M framework to better explain these other factors that relate to human factors. There were 18 EPCs in man factors, 3 EPCs in machine factors, 1 EPC in media factors, and 16 EPCs in management factors. Three types of generic tasks were obtained in this grounding analysis, and 259 relevance EPC-4M were acquired. EPCs related to management factors were the primary causes of such accidents. The average human error probability for these cases was around 55%.

“…The idea of classification and stratification of HOFs was very popular in various industries and made Reason's SCM of practical significance. HFACS is widely used in accident investigations in many industries, with some transformations to make it consistent with the characteristics and actual conditions of various industries, such as the aviation industry [19,20], construction industry [21], railway industry [22,23], shipping industry [24][25][26], oil and gas industry [27], and mining industry [28,29].…”

Maritime pilotage is an important guarantee for the safety of water traffic in port. The pilot is affected by the complex port environment, the differences of crew and equipment of different ships, the physical and psychological pressure of the pilot himself, as well as the management factors from the pilot station and maritime safety administration. In order to avoid pilotage accidents (PAs), it is necessary to study the coupling effect of human-organizational factors (HOFs) on PAs. In this paper, from the perspective of HOF risk coupling in pilotage, the problem of HOF risk coupling in maritime pilotage is studied by using the hierarchical classification idea of the human factors analysis and classification system (HFACS) and the method of system dynamics (SD). First of all, HFACS is used to analyse the HOF risk causal elements (RCEs) in pilotage, and 70 RCEs are summed up in four layers; secondly, the SD coupling model of RCEs is constructed; finally, based on a dataset of PAs collected by the Shanghai Harbour Pilot Association, the coupling simulation of RCEs in pilotage is carried out, and the volatility is evaluated. In general, the safety situation of maritime pilotage has been improving in the Shanghai port. However, four RCEs (negligence, habit, pilotage experience, and violations) in unsafe acts and two RCEs (teamwork and personal safety awareness) in precondition for unsafe acts contribute the most to maritime PAs and need to be paid attention to.As important national and international hubs of transportation, ports are widely concerned by the society. Moreover, with the continuous growth of international trade, the port becomes more and more busy, making the density of ships in the port water area increase greatly. As a result, water traffic accidents occur frequently, and people's lives, property, and environment are facing a huge threat. In particular, some serious accidents, such as the collision of CF Crystal and Sanchi in the East China Sea [4], have caused great concerns.In the actual pilotage, the pilot's advice is supposed to be authorized by the captain and implemented by the officer on watch (OOW) and helmsman in the normal conditions. As such, the captain needs to supervise the operation of the pilot and take necessary actions, including taking command when he has any doubt. Therefore, it is extremely important that the ship's crew on bridge and the pilot work closely to guarantee the safety of ships. When berthing and unberthing, the cooperation between the ship and the tugboat and the dock side is also required. In some special cases, if the visibility is poor, or the ship carried dangerous goods, some additional safety measures are needed, such as additional look-out and tug escorts. Obviously, due to the addition of pilots, the traditional ship's bridge has changed in the operation of navigation, so that pilots' technical acts directly affect the safety of the ships entering and leaving the ports. Furthermore, pilots are faced with the complicated environment of the pilotage waters, the ...

Human factor is one of main causes of fire and explosion accidents in petrochemical enterprises. In order to minimize the accident frequency and associated damage, a better understanding of the role played by human factor in such accident is prerequisite. In the present study, 212 accidents are collected and analyzed. The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System-Petrochemical Enterprise Fire and Explosion (HFACS-PEFE) is established to examine the mechanism of human failure. The model indicates violations, intellectual limitations, inadequate supervision, and insufficient safety culture are the most important factors in causing fire and explosion accidents. Relationships between different human factors, which are involved in the HFACS-PEFE framework, are identified by conducting chisquare test and odds ratio (OR) analysis. Five accident development routes and corresponding probabilities are achieved. The route comprised of insufficient safety culture ! inadequate supervision ! intellectual limitations ! violations is the easiest way to result in fire and explosion accidents. To avoid the occurrence of such accidents, direct and indirect measures are proposed to improve human performance.
