A continually evolving discipline, human reliability assessment
(HRA) has elements of controversy from the definition of terms to
the application of appropriate methods for the representation of
human failure probability. The idea that human error is a random
event is falling out of favor and the concept that humans can be
set up to fail or succeed depending on context is gaining
credibility. An in-depth exploration of current theories, Human
Reliability Assessment Theory and Practice demonstrates how to
model, change, and apply new approaches to a number of different
high-risk industries. The book covers data and data sources, choice
of methods, training of individuals, use of simulators for HRA
purposes, and the relationship between psychology, human factors,
accident analyses, and human reliability. Author Anthony Spurgin
has been in the forefront of HRA development for the past 20 years
and has contributed to developing human reliability methods and
tools that have been applied to the enhancement of nuclear power
plant and space vehicle safety. He explores reactor performance and
the demands it makes on operators to ensure plant safety. He also
covers the roles of plant management in the decision-making applied
to both design and operation. The book includes a number of
accident studies that illustrate the key roles of operators and
managers in accident mitigation and control. The heart of HRA will
always be to find creative ways of helping designers, management,
operators, and authorities increase the safety and profitability of
technological systems. Drawing on his personal experience, Spurgin
reviews HRA from the viewpoint of the operator. The book uses
examples from the nuclear industry, always on the forefront of
safety, and translates how to apply the concepts to other high risk
industries.
