Human Reliability

Human Reliability is the science of minimizing human error in service of greater safety, compliance, and ultimately profitability.

Additional research has added to the body of knowledge on Human Reliability, and in 2003 ConocoPhillips Marine conducted a bellwether study that further refined the concept to include the initial behaviors that are the root causes of incidents and accidents. They concluded that for every 300,000 “at-risk behaviors”, there are 3000 near misses, 300 recordable injuries, 30 lost workday cases, and ultimately, 1 fatality.

Near misses, recordable injuries, lost workday cases, and fatalities are all consequences of at-risk behaviors. To significantly reduce their numbers, the at-risk behaviors must be eliminated. As more than 40% of industrial incidents and accidents have been attributed to human error, a primary means of improving safety, compliance, and profitability is to dramatically improve the performance of personnel in the plant.
