Human reliability assessment techniques (HRAs) have been in existence since the 1960's. Following Dougherty's (1990) comments, a second generation of more complex HRAs were created, all measuring the reliability of individuals. However, often a team of people interact with a system, not an individual. This can increase or decrease the individual's reliability. A new generation of HRAs is needed to assess the effects of teamwork on reliability. During the development of a new tool, the model of team reliability needs to be validated. This is to be partially accomplish at a workshop at the Annual Conference of the Ergonomics Society, where HRA experts and other interested parties can critique the model. These opinions will then be utilised to enhance the model.
