Application of Integrated Human Error Identification Techniques for Chemicals Cylinder Change Task

Abstract

This paper outlines the human error identification techniques currently existent to assess and analyze the risk and human error. Even if many formal error identification techniques have existed for years, none could be validated for use to every different domain. This study considers lots of possible error modes that include external error modes, internal error modes, performance shaping factors and psychological error mechanisms, and integrates a number of execution procedures of human error identification techniques, including task analysis, criticality analysis and reliability analysis, to assess the latent human error and hazard risk in a case plant. It is concluded that the integrated method is a valuable aid to develop much safer operational processes and can be used to predict human error rates of critical tasks in the plant.
