Considering performance shaping factors in situation-specific human error probabilities

Geometric probability distribution for modeling of error risk during prescription dispensing

“…Other researchers have also identified task load and fatigue as performanceshaping factors affecting basic human error probabilities and performance. [4][5][6][7] Descriptive research of medication errors supports these conclusions. Based on interviews with 41 doctors who committed 44 prescribing errors in a teaching hospital, Dean et al 8 revealed that in 31 instances (70%), the interviewees identified workload as a condition that contributed to the error.…”

The need for a multi-factorial model of safe human performance in air traffic control

“…Human factors have been repeatedly evidenced to affect human performance (Chang & Yeh, 2010;Park & Jung, 1996) and are "major determiners of human error" (Park & Jung, 1996, p330). Knowledge of the impact of human factors on human performance and error is therefore critical in addressing safety incidents in air traffic control.…”

Human Error in Pilotage Operations

“…Please see Aalipour et al (2016) for a short review of more HRA examples. The basic functions of most HRA methods are: (1) to find human errors associate with the operation, (2) predict the likelihood of occurrence, and (3); if necessary, reduction of their likelihood (Park and Jung 1996). Quantitative approaches to human error are mostly concerned with human error probabilities, which, according to Bell and Holroyd (2009), is defined as depicted in Equation 1:…”
