| Abstract |
A number of accidents are caused by human error, most of which results from failures in psychological processes such as attention, memory, and judgment. Different kind of human error is involved in various accidents in labs, workplace and everyday situation. Considering different psychological mechanisms underlying human error we can prepare a variety of countermeasures against accidents, concerning environmental design, knowledge and training on safety, communication in workplace, attitude, stress, and so on. Reason`s (1984) Swiss cheese model which suggest different levels of failures could provide a good model in understanding accidents and defenses against them. Aspects of risk management are discussed as a final comment. |
