Human Error avi

The provided video is an educational presentation detailing the different categories of Human Behavior as they relate to safety and incidents. It breaks down actions into two primary categories: Unintended Actions (errors) and Intended Actions (violations). 1. Unintended Actions (Errors) The video defines errors as unintentional failures of automatic processing or problem-solving. These are further categorized into: Slip: A failure in execution despite having a good plan. Example: Taking an exit too early on a highway due to a lack of attention. Lapse: A failure of memory. Example: Forgetting a step in a process or missing an intended exit entirely. Mistake: A failure in the planning or problem-solving stage. The person carries out the plan perfectly, but the plan itself is flawed because they misunderstood the situation. 2. Intended Actions (Violations) Violations occur when someone intentionally does something they know they shouldn't. The video emphasizes a critical safety equation: VIOLATION + ERROR = DISASTER Types of Violations: Unintended: Occurs when rules are so complex that people violate them without fully understanding them. Routine: "Accepted practice" where everyone breaks the rule regularly. Situational: Breaking a rule because the specific circumstances make it impossible to follow. Optimising: Violating a procedure to get things done faster, to please a boss, or for personal convenience. Exceptional: Occurs in rare, emergency situations where no specific procedures exist. 3. Key Concepts & Visuals The Switch Example: To illustrate the "Violation + Error" theory, the video shows an electrician bending the rules by working on high-voltage equipment without a full shutdown (Violation). A disaster occurs only when another person accidentally flips the switch (Error), resulting in a "BANG." Sheep and Wolves: The video concludes by mentioning a study in the North Sea that distinguishes between two types of people: "sheep" (who follow rules) and "wolves" (who tend to violate them #HumanFactors #WorkplaceSafety #SafetyFirst #RiskManagement #SafetyCulture #ErrorManagement #BehavioralSafety #IndustrialSafety #ProcessSafety #ViolationVsError #SafetyTraining #OccupationalHealth #IncidentPrevention #HumanBehavior #SystemsSafety
