Human And Organizational Factors

Accidents and near-miss accidents in chemical industries are widespread. Most of the incidents occurred due to combinations of organizational and human factors. To identify the causes for an incident of an accident analysis is needed, because it reveals the possible causes behind the accidents. Accident analysis shows the human and organizational factors that support learning from the events. Literature review shows that human error plays an important role of accidents in process industries. The chapter discusses some case studies which are received very little media publicity and also no proper assessment. At first reports on the incidents were collected from newspapers and then the place was visited to conduct an interview with local people and present and past workers with the help of the PESO (M/S Petroleum and Explosive Safety Organization, Eastern Region, Govt. of India).

Human And Organizational Factors

Many organizations grapple with uncertainty and vagaries of economic and political climate. A number of companies attained dramatic competitive advantages in their fields by creating comprehensive, complex communication and information networks. These companies, facilitated by the increasing efficiencies and speed of information technology, remained flexible and adaptable to change by working in a network centric way. Much of the network centric (NC) related work done to date has been mainly in the technological domain. This paper focuses on the human and organizational factors that need to be considered to make the most of the future network centric warfare (NCW) and enable future warfighters to deal with war, peace, terrorism and overall uncertainty. Particular focus is placed on the issues that individuals and groups face in the NC environment. Such issues include: organizational culture, cognitive demands, and knowledge mobilization and learning.

Human And Organizational Factors

Serious incidents continue to occur in industry. Irrespective of industry type and work task the same types of incidents are continuing to repeat themselves and the same conclusions drawn regards the role of the human operator in incident development. Although substantial amounts of research has been undertaken to understand the human contribution to organizational incidents little research has been done to explore whether or how these discoveries have been implemented in the field. To address this gap we surveyed industry practitioners to determine their perspectives on the use of human and organizational factors analysis as part of current incident investigation processes. Results showed that the majority of practitioners indicated that human and organizational factors analysis was already being implemented to some degree in current incident investigation processes. However they also indicated that threats existed to successful identification of human and organizational factors issues and the subsequent implementation of recommendations to address them.
