Task 8 Flashcards
What is meant by accident behaviour ?
- Unsafe acts
- improper use of equipment, operating at unsafe
What is the main characteristic of accident behaviour ?
- Risk taking
What is meant by the risk homeostasis theory ?
- people accept a particular level of subjectively evaluated risk to their health in order to gain from a range of benefits associated with that activity
What influences risk taking behaviour ?
- Past experience + anticipated cost
What is meant by anticipated cost ?
- time, reduced productivity and frustration
Is the human species good at judging probability of risk ?
- No
- Underestimates risks of familar tasks
- Overestimate risks of unfamiliar tasks
Explain the 3 steps of risk staking behaviour ?
- Diagnosis (Need to know dangerous situation exsit )
- Generation of alternatives (have to know what actions are available to the given situation
- Evaluation= knowing the consequences of decision making (safety)
What are some factors influencing evaluation ?
- Cost of not follwing rules
- was the action voluntary
- Novelty and familiarity of the hazard
- potential for injuries
What is one of the main cuases of accident?
- Drug and alcohol
On who are errors usually blamed on ?
- on humans since they are easier exchangeable
But what is the truth about human errors ?
- all accidents are multi-causal,(caused by multiple events)
What is the definition of an Error ?
An action which is out of tolerance for the particular situation
- Most errors are unintended or have no serious consequences
- Are either random, stystematic or sporadic
What is meant by violation errors ?
- intentionally make an error
- Can be either routined,situational or exeptional violation errors
What is meant by routined violation errors ?
- errors become normal -> no serious consequences
What is meant by situational violation errors ?
- pressures arising from a specific job
What is meant by exceptional violation errors ?
- workers have good intentions but make risky decision
How do errors arise ?
- They occur because of a missmatch between characteristics of humans and the design of the task
Name the two types of errors ?
- Design errors: frequently occuring
- variability errors: Ocassionaly occuring
Which modles of error classification do exist ?
- Slips lapses and mistakes
- Normans model
Explain the slips lapses and mistakes model:
- Execution failures (slips & lapses): intention correct, execution fails
- Planning failures (mistakes):execution is according to plan but the plan was incorrect in the first place
Expalin the norman model:
- Relates to errors regarding human machine errors
- Moder errors
- capture errors
- misperception error
- Sequence errors
- Timing errors
What is meant by moder errors ?
- action performed in an inappropriate way
What is meant by capture errors ?
- action is correct but performed in a sitch that isn’t
What is meant by misperception errors ?
- perceptual cues are misused, resulting in a wrong decision and wrong action
What is meant by sequence errors ?
- performing an action out of the expected order (before evaluated order)
What is meant by timing errors ?
- performing an action too quickly/slowly
