In this book the author applies contemporary error theory to the
needs of investigators and of anyone attempting to understand why
someone made a critical error, how that error led to an incident or
accident, and how to prevent such errors in the future. Students
and investigators of human error will gain an appreciation of the
literature on error, with numerous references to both scientific
research and investigative reports in a wide variety of
applications, from airplane accidents, to bus accidents, to bonfire
disasters. Features include: - an easy to follow step by step
approach to conducting error investigations that even those new to
the field can readily apply. - summaries of recent transportation
accidents and human factors literature and relates them to the
cause of human error in accidents. - an approach to investigating
human error that will be of interest to both human factors
psychology and industrial engineering students and instructors, as
well as investigators of accidents in aviation, mass
transportation, nuclear power, or any industry that is to the
adverse effects of error. Based on the author's over 18 years of
experience as an accident investigator and instructor of both
aircraft accident investigation techniques and human factors
psychology, it reviews recent human factors literature, summarizes
major transportation accidents, and shows how to investigate the
types of errors that typically occur in high risk industries. It
presents a model of human error causation influenced largely by
James Reason and Neville Moray, and relates it to error
investigations with step by step guidelines for data collection and
analysis that investigators can readily apply as needed.
