Human Reliability and Safety Analysis Data Handbook

Where many other textbooks concentrate on the theoretical issues surrounding the nature of human reliability and try to explain and prove why people err, we have chosen a different path. This text presents a summary of methods and techniques and data and concepts as they are applied in the practice of HRA. What we do first in our text is to simply report the facts-- to locate the probabilistic …
