Identification and Assessment of Human Errors in SRP Unit of Control Room of Tehran Oil Refinery Using HEIST Technique)2007(

Abstract

Introduction: In line with the man’s access to new sources of energy and the development of highly sophisticated technology, human element is assigned a more critical role in operating and controlling the systems. Today in most work environments including nuclear, military and chemical industries a human error could result in a catastrophic event. It is for this reason that the identification of the human errors and prediction of necessary prevention strategies especially in highly sophisticated systems becomes a must-do. This qualitative study is aimed to identify and evaluate the human errors in control room of sulfide recovery unit of Tehran Oil Refinery.
