Analysis and Assessment of Risks Arising from Human Factors in Offshore Drilling Activities(PPT)

摘要

Human factors are the main cause of most of the accidents in drilling industry. These factors are related to the relationship of humans with each other, with working environment, tools, procedures and organization. Drilling operations are procedural. The high level of interaction between workers, software and hardware in these operations makes them complex. The probability of human error and accident in complex systems is high. In addition to loss of lives and property, accidents in offshore drilling rigs results in pollution of marine environments. These all are threats for the reputation of drilling companies. Analysis and assessment of human factors can reduce the number of human errors and the rate of accidents. In this paper the different techniques used for analysis of human factors will be surveyed. Based on the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques, and also regarding the complexity and nature of offshore drilling operation, a proper algorithm for analysis and assessment of risks arising from human factors in offshore drilling activities will be introduced.
