Losses have been estimated between $5-10 billion. It is, therefore, one of the most wide reaching and serious 'blackouts' in...
Incident and Accident Investigation Techniques to Inform Model-Based Design of Safety-Critical Interactive Systems
BNET
- 2005-02-25
The quality of the design of an interactive safety-critical system can be enhanced by embedding data and knowledge from past experiences. Traditionally, this involves applying scenarios, usability analysis, or the use of metrics for risk analysis. This paper presents an approach that uses the information from incident investigations to inform...
Extending the Borders of Accident Investigation: Applying Novel Analysis Techniques to the Loss of the Brazilian Space Programme's Launch Vehicle VLS-1 V03
BNET
- 2004-07-21
There has been a rapid increase in the complexity and integration of many safety-critical systems. In consequence, it is becoming increasingly difficult to identify the causes of incidents and accidents back through the complex interactions that lead up to an adverse event. At the same time, there is a growing...
The Role of Night Vision Equipment in Military Incidents and Accidents
BNET
- 2004-02-03

This paper presents the results of a project commissioned by the Electrical and Control Systems Unit of the UK Health and Safety Executive. The results of the project will be used to give guidance to operators and suppliers of Electrical, Electronic or Programmable Electronic Systems (E/E/PES) in satisfying particular requirements...
The Interaction Between Safety Culture and Uncertainty Over Device Behaviour: The Limitations and Hazards of Telemedicine
BNET
- 2003-04-09
The introduction of new technology carries with it a degree of uncertainty on the part of system operators. They must match device behaviour to the operating characteristics described during training sessions or within supporting documentation. When operators are uncertain about what their system is actually doing then they frequently resort...
Risk and Decision-Making in Military Incident and Accident Reporting Systems
BNET
- 2002-09-12
Incident and accident reporting systems can be used to identify patterns of operator behavior in the causes and mitigation of adverse events. Most attention in this area has, however, focused on the civilian process, healthcare and transportation industries. In contrast, this paper focuses on human factors issues in military incident...
