Most experts agree, however, that it can be further reduced. This study focuses on the human-factors aspects that have consistently played a prominent role in mishap causation but only recently have received significant scrutiny. The approach taken in this study has as its premise that both the environment and the organism bring with them a certain degree of mishap potential and that a mishap occurs as a result of the additive effects, or critical interfaces, of the two. Determining these critical interface by retrospective analysis of past mishaps is the method used here, the immediate goal being to identify more clearly the root cause of human-factors mishaps. Recommendations are offered for future efforts to avoid these critical interfaces or to decrease the mishap potential inherent in the environment and the organism. (Author) 收起
