Industries strive to improve safety and performance in all aspects of their operations, and maintenance is one area where such improvements can often be achieved. Although managers may consider their own maintenance operations to be of a high standard - quality, performance and safety incidents frequently reveal causes for concern. Many of these failures are associated with the human aspect of maintenance.

Human Error Link List
- Human Error Reduction Strategies Workshop
- Manufactures that incorporate root cause analysis into their reliability efforts have found most root cause analysis results uncover human error as a contributor to the event being analyzed. Equipment start-up is always a concern because maintenance and operations spend log hours working to restore equipment availability as soon as possible. Many times during or shortly after start-up equipment fails. When investigations are completed a bearing was installed incorrectly, an impeller was installed backwards, the wrong lapping compound was used, and the list goes on.

- Human reliability - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Human reliability is related to the field of human factors engineering, and refers to the reliability of humans in fields such as manufacturing, transportation, the military, or medicine. Human performance can be affected by many factors such as age, circadian rhythms, state of mind, physical health, attitude, emotions, propensity for certain common mistakes, errors and cognitive biases, etc.
Human reliability is very important due to the possible adverse consequences of human errors or oversights, especially when the human is a crucial part of the large socio-technical systems as is common today. User-centered design and error-tolerant design are just two of many terms used to describe efforts to make technology better suited to operation by humans. - Reliability Centered Maintenance Managers' Forum
- Join us for RCM-007 featuring a workshop of Human Error and a real world case study.
Human Error Tip From RCI
- allow the boss to hear bad news.
- identify and address potential failures proactively before they materialize .
- realize that punishing people does not necessarily eliminate the risk of recurrence of the same failure somewhere else.
- not blame the regulator for failing to monitor closely enough.
- make the concept of Root Cause Analysis an integral part of the organizational culture.
