Human error is cited over & over as a cause of incidents & accidents The result is a widespread perception of a 'human error problem' & solutions are thought to lie in changing the people or their role in the system For example we should reduce the human role with more automation or regiment human behavior by stricter monitoring rules or procedures But in practice things have proved not to be this simple The label 'human error' is prejudicial & hides much more than it reveals about how a system functions or malfunctions This book takes you behind the human error label Divided into five parts it begins by summarising the most significant research results Part 2 explores how systems thinking has radically changed our understanding of how accidents occur Part 3 explains the role of cognitive system factors
- bringing knowledge to bear changing mindset as situations & priorities change & managing goal conflicts
- in operating safely at the sharp end of systems Part 4 studies how the clumsy use of computer technology can increase the potential for erroneous actions & assessments in many different fields of practice & Part 5 tells how the hindsight bias always enters into attributions of error so that what we label human error actually is the result of a social & psychological judgment process by stakeholders in the system in question to focus on only a facet of a set of interacting contributors If you think you have a human error problem recognize that the label itself is no explanation & no guide to countermeasures The potential for constructive change for progress on safety lies behind the human error label
