Chernobyl (Part 5)

Human Factors Minute ·

2024/05/10

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Highly-trained and experienced operators can often compensate for a poor design; however, in the case of the Chernobyl disaster, the designers gave the operators too difficult a task. The design was not at all forgiving of operator mistakes. It may have been difficult for the operators to have compensated for design failures that they did not know about. Not only were the plant operators unaware of key design weaknesses, the designers were unaware as

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! In our previous Human Factors Minute on the Chernobyl disaster, we mentioned that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had released a report detailing their conclusions of the disaster. The IAEA updated their conclusions in a 1993 report. New information since the 1986 report led them to "shift the emphasis of its conclusions from the actions of the operating staff to faulty design of the reactor’s control rods and safety systems.

Safety Culture

Human Factors Minute ·

2024/03/20

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Safety culture is about what people do (safety-related behaviours); how people feel (individual and group values, attitudes and perceptions) as well as what the organisation has (policies, procedures, structures and systems). These three aspects are interrelated and therefore not mutually exclusive. A company’s safety culture is shaped by corporate practices and organisational behaviour, and so a full picture can’t be gained from just focusing on the

...and now for another Human Factors Minute!Let's take a look at the Human Error that contributed to the Chernobyl disaster. Many believe the disaster was caused by ‘human error’, based on early reports that placed substantial blame on the operators at Chernobyl. A report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), placed considerable emphasis on the role of plant operators. This report was based upon a meeting organised by the IAEA, and was attended by international nuclear experts, who
