Collecting Human-Factors Data From Accidents and Incidents

摘要

To investigate human and organizational factors in offshore acci- dents, two human-factors incident reporting forms were developed and evaluated. The Open Reporting From (ORF) contained 11 open questions and the Comprehensive Reporting From (CRF) contained 166 questions/potential causal categories. Both forms were tested on five U.K. offshore installations where personnel involved in an incident were asked to complete one. Using statisti- cal techniques, the form with more structured questions was found to provide 66/100 more information than the participating company's existing reporting form. Results of the participating company's focusing on potential benefits for the offshore oil industry.
