Human Factors reporting does work. Show me the person that has never made a mistake and I will show you the person who has never made anything. We are all porne to the odd lapse because we are all human.
In our company, anyone who has an omission of any kind is invited to be interviewed to see if there may be a better way of doing things; perhaps there may need to be a better way of differentiating between gauges of differing pressure ranges. Or do we need duplicate inspections when carrying out wheel changes to see that the spacer has been fitted?
If you make an omission because you are still drunk from the night before, I expect disciplinary action may be taken. But if you have pressing personal problems, or you have been unduely pressurised at work, or you have been distracted, all these points will be taken into consideration.
If you require further details, please e-mail me and I will gladly help out in whatever way that I can
