  4. why human factors? Technology Number of Accidents Procedures Human Factors Time

  5. Estimated number of “human errors” 100 The diagram shows the attribution of “human errors” as causes, which may be different from the contribution of “human errors” to incidents / accidents. 90 80 70 60 % Human action attributed as cause 50 40 30 20 10 1960 1965 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995

  6. Incidents are caused by our behaviour We react with technical solutions !

  7. A Voice from the Past • Robert Blauner , Alienation & Freedom 1964 • Studied worker alienation in several industries • “Advanced technology like chemicals processing would eliminate worker alienation”

  8. Humans make mistakes • E.g. Bottling line employees asked to sight bottles of Scotch whisky on a packaging line for suspected glass contaminants • 100% of rejected bottles found to be OK –falsely detected • 50% of deliberately seeded bottles got through

  9. Action Plan for Industry • Develop an understanding of the basic subject matter of human factors (HF) • Develop an understanding of current HF issues in pertinent industry sectors • Develop an understanding of current arrangements used to identify & control SHE hazards in your workplace • From the basis of the existing systems already in place identify how HF can be incorporated

  10. Develop an understanding of the basic subject matter of HF • Reading • Key texts e.g UK HSE • HF specialists • Web • Training • Conferences

  11. Develop an understanding of current HF issues in pertinent industry sectors • Conduct a HF health check within the workplace • Formal • Surveys, Interviews, Audits, Incident investigations • Informal • 1-2-1, Grapevine, Personalities

  12. Develop an understanding of current arrangements used to identify & control SHE hazards in your workplace • Consult those who run and own the Safety Management System(SMS) • Review documents of SMS • Risk assessments • Inspections • Safety tours • Near miss investigations

  13. From the basis of the existing systems already in place identify how HF can be incorporated

  14. Action Plan for PRISM • Facilitate exchange of knowledge and information • Generate knowledge to meet industry needs • Establish options available to facilitate information sharing between companies • Facilitate knowledge transfer from experts
