Human Factors Theory of Accident Causation

Attributes accidents to a chain of events that were ultimately the result of human error.

Three broad factors leading to human error:

1. Overload
2. Inappropriate Responses
3. Inappropriate Activities

1. Overload

Worker’s Capacity -
Natural Ability, Training, State of Mind,
Fatigue, Stress, Physical Condition

Environmental Factors -
Noise, Climatic, Lighting, Distractions, etc

Internal Factors -
Personal Problems, Emotional Stress, Worry

Situational Factors -
Level of Risk, Unclear Instructions, Novelty, etc

2. Inappropriate Responses

Ignores a suspected hazard

Disregards established safety procedures

Circumvents safety devices

Includes incompatibility with person’s workstation
(Size, Required Force, Reach, Feel, etc)


3. Inappropriate Activities

Performing tasks without requisite training

Misjudging the degree of risk

When an accident occurs it can be a difficult and somewhat uncomfortable time for those involved. Making a claim against an insurance company for the damages can, sometimes, exacerbate the situation. Usually, a person who is liable for an accident -- and therefore his or her liability insurance company -- must pay an injured person for:

* medical care and related expenses
* income lost because of the accident, because of time spent unable to work or undergoing treatment for injuries
* permanent physical disability or disfigurement
* loss of family, social, and educational experiences, including missed school or training, vacation or recreation, or a special event.
* damaged property.

Kinetic watches are considered as great investment and energy-saving gadgets,
but the solar-powered models can easily compete with them.

With the advent of the digital age, a lot of processes have been digitized.
The bezels are inlaid with genuine 34 cut diamonds while subtle detailing
works are accented on the heart-shaped Krysterna crystal located
above the date indicator.
