Not sure - there are all sorts of terms now in use.
The best description may be an error-provoking condition and that covers a multitude; poor tooling, poor access. poor procedures, stress, fatigue, time pressure.
It was a Canadian who came up with the "Dirty Dozen" (perhaps that is what you allude to?) listing 12 problems facing the AME (Norms, complacency, lack of awareness etc).
Have a look here (http://www.caa.co.uk/application.aspx?categoryid=33&pagetype=65&applicationid=11&mode=detail&id=275)
The UK CAA has done a lot of work on HF (as have TC and the FAA) and the ICAO has adopted some of the CAA's work as standards .
PM me and discuss further.
