The human factor in accidents at work

摘要

Typical core conditions for the reasons of faulty behaviour are explained. The quantitative overstraining of the mental capacity of the person, the timely overstraining of his capacity, work-related violation of behavioral habits, mental overstrain like remembrance stress, overstraining of judgement capacity like overstraining of attention are part of this core condition. Faulty actions as the result of unintended, not targeted actions are lastly attributable to deficits in the information directing the action. Faulty actions can be caused by an objective lack of necessary information by the non-utilization of information given or by a wrong utilization of existing information. This points to prevention possibilities of faulty behaviour resulting also in accidents.
