Human Reliability Analysis from the Ergonomics Perspective
Journal Title: Ergonomics International Journal - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The evolution of socio-economic environment during the 20th century caused a rapid increase in two important issues: the risk and the complexity of the processes [1]. These two factors combined with several numbers of technological changes contributed to increasing the complexity of work systems. The increasing complexity of industrial systems requires the adoption of adequate approaches to manage emergency situations in case of accidents and disasters. In this context the analysis of human reliability represents a crucial task [2]. In fact, the human factor is a predominant element in the study of accidents/disaster, both in probability level, but also in terms of severity of the expected effects [3].
