Can You Stop Human Error?

How About This

Can you stop human error? I’ve seen it done.

Want an example. Here’s one…

It’s the results of an experiment. Students were asked to turn on a specific burner on a stove. The results are on the right side of the picture. The worst example is about a 10% error rate. That’s horrible human performance.

The best example? A 0% human error rate. Zero errors in 1,200 tries. They STOPPED human error. Same people. Same training. Just one human factors change – the arrangement of the controls and the burners.

That’s one example. But it proves that stopping a human error can be done.

Not every example completely stops human errors but many examples significantly reduce human errors.
