Workshop Proceedings: The Role of Personnel Error in Fossil Fuel Power Plant Equipment Reliability

摘要

This workshop was convened in response to emerging utility concern as the concluding part of the EPRI sponsored study conducted by Failure Analysis Associates on The Role of Personnel Errors in Power Plant Equipment Reliability. The purposes of the workshop were to (1) review the results of the study, (2) examine the nature of some personnel errors which affect fossil-fuel power plant equipment reliability, (3) establish priorities and goals aimed at error reduction, and (4) initiate technical planning of the necessary long-range efforts. The workshop began with presentations by utility representatives and human factors engineers. After general discussion, the attendees divided into three working groups. Various aspects of the problem were discussed and potential solutions were identified within each group and discussed with the general audience. Transcripts of each formal presentation and summaries of working group recommendations are included. (ERA citation 05:038058)
