Representatives from the fields of engineering, psychology, systems design, sociology, and other professions discuss various approaches to human error analysis. This cross-disciplinary discussion addresses the increasing need for consideration of human errors in the context of technological development. Its unifying theme is that accidental events of low probability must be assessed in the design stage of products and industrial installations in order to avoid potentially large-scale economic, environmental, and human loss. Focuses on the assessment of models of human functions as a component in risk assessment and the formation of system design techniques to increase error tolerance and match the demands of modern technology. Includes several position papers.
