Question 3

On page 64 of the course textbook, Manuele lists a series of innovations to be considered in order to provide the necessary focus on serious injury and fatality prevention.

Question 4

In the conclusion to Chapter 4, Manuele states: “To avoid hazard-related incidents resulting in serious injuries, human error potentials must be addressed at the cultural, organizational, management system, design, and engineering levels, and with respect to the work methods prescribed.” Briefly discuss how each of these levels contributes to human error. Which one of these levels, if addressed, is likely to result in the greatest benefit for reducing human error reduction?
