What is Human Factors?
Human factors is the multi-disciplinary science that applies
knowledge about the capabilities and limitations of human
performance to all aspects of the design, operation, and
maintenance of products and systems.
It considers the effects of physical, psychological, and
environmental factors on human performance in different
task environments, including the role of human operators in
system.
complex system
It attempts to optimize the interaction between people,
machines, methods, and procedures that interface with one
another within an environment in a defined system to
achieve a set of system goals.

Human Factors and Human Performance
Human performance is a measure of human activity that expresses
how well a human has carried out an assigned, well-defined task
or a portion of a task.
Human performance = f ( speed, accuracy )
If a task is not performed “accurately” in accordance with its
requirements, an error has occurred.
Accidents rarely involve a deliberate disregard of procedures, BUT
are generally caused by situations in which a person’s capabilities
person s
are inadequate OR are overwhelmed in an adverse situation.
Therefore, considerations must be given NOT ONLY TO the human
error (failure to perform as required) BUT ALSO TO why the error
occurred.

Human Error
AE4001 Environmental Aspects in Aviation Hisar M. Pasaribu/ITB
Human Error
Human Error can be defined as ‘the failure of planned
actions to achieved a desired goal.’
Human Error is an event that occurs whenever a task or a
task element is not performed in accordance with its
specifications.
An error occurs when a task element is:
Not performed when required – the error of omission
Performed when not required – the error of commission
Performed incorrectly – the error of substitution
Performed out of sequence
Performed late

Some Myths About Human Error
Myth:
randomly.
Human error occurs randomly
Fact:
Human error is not random.
It is systematically connected to features of operator’s
tools, tasks, and operating environment.
AE4001 Environmental Aspects in Aviation Hisar M. Pasaribu/ITB
Some Myths About Human Error
Myth:
A highly experienced and motivated operator could not
have made an error during a familiar task.
Fact:
The best people can make the worst mistakes.
AE4001 Environmental Aspects in Aviation Hisar M. Pasaribu/ITB
9
Some Myths About Human Error
Myth:
easily,
If an operator can perform a task easily they will never
make an error doing the task.
Fact:
Operators will periodically make errors as a consequence
of variations in task, environment, and individual factors.
AE4001 Environmental Aspects in Aviation Hisar M. Pasaribu/ITB
Some Myths About Human Error
Myth:
The types of human error that lead to serious accidents
are different to the types of human error that we see in
everyday life.
Fact:
The types of human error can be the same. Whether the
consequences are minor or disastrous depends on the
situation.

Human Error in Aviation Safety
Human errors are normally system-related.
Safety attention at present is heavily focused on trying to
understand :
the human decision-making process, and
how humans react to operational situations and interact
with the new technology in aircraft and ground systems.
Mismanagement by the flight crew is the dominant causal
factor, since the pilots are the last link in the chain to
identify and correct errors that result in accidents and
incidents.
AE4001 Environmental Aspects in Aviation Hisar M. Pasaribu/ITB
Human Error in Aviation Safety
Determining the precise reason for human errors is a
daunting task.
It requires an understanding of human behavior factors in the
operation of a system.
While technical decisions for aircraft design, production and
operation are based on “HARD” sciences, data on human
performance and reliability are regarded as “SOFT” and
p y g
receives little attention.
Human capabilities are not readily based on consistent and
precise measurements.
AE4001 Environmental Aspects in Aviation Hisar M. Pasaribu/ITB

Human Error in Aviation Safety
Essentially, three reasons explain why people make poor
decisions:
1. Incomplete information These are not mutually
exclusive categories,
2. Inaccurate information nor are they limited to
3. Poor information processing inexperience pilots.
The crews consistently used a
process that would assist in
better decision making
There would be

Management of Human Error
AE4001 Environmental Aspects in Aviation Hisar M. Pasaribu/ITB
Human Error Should Be Managed
Human Error is a natural part of life.
Error, undesirable,
Human Error although undesirable is nevertheless both
frequent and widespread.
Management of human error can only be possible if errors
are identified and recognized.
AE4001 Environmental Aspects in Aviation Hisar M. Pasaribu/ITB
14
Learning From Errors
If errors are not reported, possibly because staff think
that they will be punished, then the organization will
lose a valuable source of safety information.
Therefore, we need to foster a Just Culture in which
people
p p are encouraged, even rewarded, for reporting

unsafe acts.

Person vs System Error
The Person Approach

Focuses on the errors and violations of individuals
Remedial efforts directed at people at the ‘sharp
end’.
The System Approach
Traces the casual factors back into the system as a
whole.
Remedial efforts directed at situations and
organizations.

Human Error - Summary
Human error cannot be entirely eliminated.
We need to understand WHY errors happen.
Many errors reflect organizational problems.
