Looking for ways to improve operational and safety performance? We’ll help you assess – and then reduce or control – the risk of human error across your operations. Home Services Human Reliability Assessments Overview Our clients in safety critical industries want their systems to be of the highest technical integrity, and lead the way in operational and safety performance. These goals are extremely challenging and there’s always room for improvement. We still experience too many near misses, incidents and accidents because of people getting things wrong. We help our clients with their ambitions here. We’ll start by analysing proactively your operations, looking at the types of potential human error and the probability of these happening. You’ll understand what effect such risk will have on system safety. You’ll have ways to control or reduce human error so that it’s as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP). What we offer To assess the potential human errors within your system, and possible effects, we use Human Reliability Assessment (HRA). There tend to be three main stages: Identifying human error Screening analysis Quantifying human error. To meet regulatory requirements, we may recommend our full human factors safety critical task analysis (HFSCTA). Stage 1: Identifying human error Stage 2: Screening analysis Stage 3: Quantifying human error What are the benefits? There are several safety and commercial advantages when predicting, documenting, reducing and controlling human-related risks and errors. You’ll make a positive impact on incident and accident rates. You’ll make the working environment safer for your personnel and contractors. You’ll justify design decisions and save money on costly re-designs. You’ll understand where new competencies or extra training is required. You’ll improve all-round operational performance. Why choose LR?
