A Framework for Human Error Analysis of Emergency Situations

摘要

A framework is presented to identify and evaluate the risks of critical steps in the escape,evacuation and rescue process on offshore installations. A combination of expertjudgment techniques and major incident investigations from industry were used toevaluate the risk for the escape and evacuation stages. Risk reduction is also included inthis framework via a separate risk assessment technique. This framework can be appliedto emergency preparedness for several industries. Dependency and overall time tocomplete the EER process were not analyzed in this work. Many of the potential safetybarriers identified in the framework require further research in order to be incorporated inthe risk reduction stage.
