Abstract
Many causes of both casualties and large production losses in the process industries result from human failures.
Especially errors such as “mistakes” are a matter of great concern.
This paper describes the human factor in operational safety and availability.
Attention will be paid to errors in the “thinking process” and also to maintenance induced errors.
