  1. Human Performance Improvement Principles 1. People are fallible, and even the best make mistakes. 2. Error-likely situations are predictable, manageable, and preventable. 3. Individual behavior is influenced by organizational processes and values. 4. People achieve high levels of performance based largely on the encouragement and reinforcement received from leaders, peers, and subordinates. 5. Events can be avoided by understanding the reasons mistakes occur and applying the lessons learned from past events.

  2. InteractiveDiscussion • Provide an example of how you prepared for a new task, or task that was going to be conducted in a different manner than previously done/different location and/or different methods. • What ES&H considerations influenced your work planning and how were they addressed? • Provide an example of a task where the execution did not go as planned and how that resulted in post-job feedback/change and/or Lessons Learned/follow-up. • What ES&H considerations were not included in your work planning and how were they addressed?  What will be done differently next time? How was that communicated?

  3. Task Demands Individual Capabilities • Time pressure (in a hurry) • Unfamiliarity w/ task / First time • High Workload (memory requirements) • Lack of knowledge (mental model) • Simultaneous, multiple tasks • New technique not used before • Repetitive actions, monotonous • Imprecise communication habits • Irrecoverable acts • Lack of proficiency / Inexperience • Interpretation requirements • Indistinct problem-solving skills • Unclear goals, roles, & responsibilities • “Hazardous” attitude for critical task • Lack of or unclear standards • Illness / Fatigue Work Environment Human Nature • Distractions / Interruptions • Stress (limits attention) • Changes / Departures from routine • Habit patterns • Confusing displays or controls • Assumptions (inaccurate mental picture) • Workarounds / OOS instruments • Complacency / Overconfidence • Hidden system response • Mindset (“tuned” to see) • Unexpected equipment conditions • Inaccurate risk perception (Pollyanna) • Lack of alternative indication • Mental shortcuts (biases) • Personality conflicts • Limited short-term memory Error Precursors
