Human Reliability—A Life‐Cycle Perspective

Abstract

Discussing human error, the author sees the key to a rationalisation of the human reliability problem as a recognition of where, in a system, the human contribution will be weak and strong. This knowledge must then be applied at both design and operational phases. The reliability analyst creates a predictive model so that it is possible to incorporate effective opportunities for recovery at each possible fail stage. A data base of past experience is essential.
