Human Error, published in 1991, is a major theoretical integration of
several previously isolated literatures. Particularly important is the
identification of cognitive processes common to a wide variety of
error types. Technology has now reached a point where improved safety
can only be achieved on the basis of a better understanding of human
error mechanisms. In its treatment of major accidents, the book spans
the disciplinary gulf between psychological theory and those concerned
with maintaining the reliability of hazardous technologies. As such,
it is essential reading not only for cognitive scientists and human
factors specialists, but also for reliability engineers and risk
managers. No existing book speaks with so much clarity to both the
theorists and the practitioners of human reliability.
