The human factors analysis and classification system (HFACS) is based upon Reason's organizational model of human error. HFACS was developed as an analytical framework for the investigation of the role of human error in aviation accidents, however, there is little empirical work formally describing the relationship between the components in the model. This research analyses 41 civil aviation ac...

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 ...

Without accurate analysis, it is difficult to identify training needs and develop the content of training programs required for preventing aviation accidents. The human factors analysis and classification system (HFACS) is based on Reason's system-wide model of human error. In this study, 523 accidents from the Republic of China Air Force were analyzed in which 1762 human errors were categorize...

Shipping is one of the leading modes transport that has dominated world economy from past to present. The effectiveness and efficiency maritime trade closely related safety. Providing quality safety a fundamental requirement for environmentally friendly, sustainable, safe efficient global trade. Therefore, human factors are frequently studied topics in literature. However, fact element complex ...

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...

Drone systems have become increasingly applied to various commercial, technical, agricultural, and military sectors. With the emerging significant effects on frequency of drone accidents in many situations areas, it has necessary form unmanned aircraft usage limitations. The first step do that is by highlighting sources current process. Human Factors Analysis Classification System (HFACS) main ...

Wiegman and Shappel (26) described years ago a practical and comprehensive model of human factors which can be applied to every accident. The so named HFACS or Human factors Accident Classification System model followed the causative models described by previously by Reason (17) and later by AGARD WG-23 (19). Nowdays it constitues a handy taxonomical tool to identify and determine causal facts ...
