Cognitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method (CREAM) available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The growing dependence of working environments on complex technology has created many challenges and lead to a large number of accidents. Although the quality of organization and management within the work environment plays an important role in these accidents, the significance of individual human action (as a direct cause and as a mitigating factor) is undeniable. This has created a need for new, integrated approaches to accident analysis and risk assessment. This book detailing the use of CREAM is, therefore, both timely and useful. It presents an error taxonomy which integrates individual, technological and organizational factors based on cognitive engineering principles. In addition to the necessary theoretical foundation, it provides a step-by-step description of how the taxonomy can be applied to analyse as well as predict performance using a context-dependent cognitive model. CREAM can be used as a second-generation human reliability analysis (HRA) approach in probabilistic safety assessment (PSA), as a stand-alone method for accident analysis and as part of a larger design method for interactive systems. In particular, the use of CREAM will enable system designers and risk analysts to: • identify tasks that require human cognition and therefore depend on cognitive reliability • determine the conditions where cognitive reliability and ensuing risk may be reduced • provide an appraisal of the consequences of human performance on system safety which can be used in PSA.

Human Reliability Analysis in Healthcare available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "Patient safety is a concern within the healthcare domain as it is estimated that tens of thousands of people die annually from preventable medical errors. For over ten years, traditional Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) techniques (e.g., Root Cause Analysis and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) have been used in hospitals nationwide in an attempt to explain why these errors occur and what can be done to prevent them. Still, patient safety has not improved significantly. Traditional HRA techniques are limited as analysis tools. They do not consider the context in which workers operate. They are also not based on a valid psychological model that could explain human cognitive function. The Cognitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method (CREAM) is an HRA technique that allows analysts to examine worker actions through the context of performance-shaping factors. The CREAM also employs a cognitive model to explain cognitive failures. This research used the CREAM to re-analyze events containing identifiable error modes that were previously analyzed by hospital team members using the RCA technique. The results of the re-analyses using the CREAM were compared with the previous analyses from RCA events. Additionally, several RCA events were observed and detailed written narratives of the observations were used to perform further independent analyses by three independent analysts in an effort to calculate inter-rater agreement. The results exposed a gap within categories of causal factors between the two techniques. The CREAM identified organizational factors as contributing to error in the events whereas those factors were either minimized or ignored in the RCA. The results also failed to demonstrate any significant inter-rater agreement among independent analysts performing the CREAM analyses. Due to serious data limitations, detailed analyses using the CREAM were not possible."--Abstract.

Download and read online ebook Safety, Reliability, Human Factors, and Human Error in Nuclear Power Plants write by B.S. Dhillon. This book was released on 2017-12-14. Safety, Reliability, Human Factors, and Human Error in Nuclear Power Plants available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Each year billions of dollars are being spent in the area of nuclear power generation to design, construct, manufacture, operate, and maintain various types of systems around the globe. Many times these systems fail due to safety, reliability, human factors, and human error related problems. The main objective of this book is to combine nuclear power plant safety, reliability, human factors, and human error into a single volume for those individuals that work closely during the nuclear power plant design phase, as well as other phases, thus eliminating the need to consult many different and diverse sources in obtaining the desired information.
