Human Factors in Hazard Management

Human factors must be considered when humans are involved. A hazard barrier diagram visualizes barriers between an initiating event and accident, with barrier failure represented as holes. An accident occurs when all barriers fail, so recognizing hazards allows barriers to be strengthened or new ones added to prevent escalation to an undesired consequence.
