HFACS Analysis for Investigating Human Errors in Flight Training Accidents

Analytical HFACS for investigating human errors in shipping accidents.

Despite the innovative trends in marine technology and the implementation of safety-related regulations, shipping accidents are still a leading concern for global maritime interests. Ensuring the consistency of shipping accident investigation reports is recognized as a significant goal in order to clearly identify the root causes of these accidents. Hence, the goal of this paper is to generate ...

An Analysis of Helicopter EMS Accidents using HFACS: 2000-2012

Unraveling the Mystery of General Aviation Controlled Flight into Terrain Accidents Using Hfacs

As part of the Federal Aviation Administration’s Safer Skies agenda, a Joint Safety Analysis Team (JSAT) was formed to review general aviation (GA) controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents and recommend strategies to prevent their occurrence and/or mitigate their consequences. The JSAT reviewed 195 CFIT accidents occurring over a 2-year period between 1993 and 1994 and developed 55 inter...

Human error analysis of commercial aviation accidents: application of the Human Factors Analysis and Classification system (HFACS).

BACKGROUND The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) is a general human error framework originally developed and tested within the U.S. military as a tool for investigating and analyzing the human causes of aviation accidents. Based on Reason's (1990) model of latent and active failures, HFACS addresses human error at all levels of the system, including the condition of aircr...

Analysis of occupational accidents based on the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS): A Case Study in a Copper Mine

Background and Aim: Occupational accidents are recognized as one of the major concerns in the mining industry. The purpose of this study was to analyze the incidence of occupational accidents in a mine for 10 years using Human Factor Analysis and Classification System (HFACS). Method: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 664 mining accidents during 2009-2018. The tools used in this st...
