--- abstract: |- Abstract: The present study began with an assessment of the reliability and usefulness of an existing minor event coding system in a British ‘highconsequence’ industry. It was discovered that despite the fact that the system produced replicable data, when tested in a reliability trial the causal inferences it was producing failed to meet the normal criteria for statistical reliability. It was therefore felt necessary to create a new model of the human factors component of action in this industry, from which a model of human factors error in the same industry could be inferred. A set of codes (to facilitate statistical analysis) were deduced from this last, which were then tested in a new reliability trial. The results from this trial were very encouraging, and after a six-month pilot study in which it demonstrated its usefulness as a trend and patterning tool, the system is now being phased in within altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Wallace given: Brendan honourific: Dr lineage: '' - family: Ross given: Alastair honourific: Dr lineage: '' - family: Davies given: John honourific: Dr lineage: '' date: 2002-04 date_type: published datestamp: 2005-10-20 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/45/76 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: - family: Hollnagel given: Erik honourific: Professor lineage: '' - family: Cacciabue given: Pietro Carlo honourific: Professor lineage: '' eprint_status: archive eprintid: 4576 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/4576/1/the_creation_of_a_new_minor_event.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'Human Error, cognition, safety, minor event coding scheme, nuclear industry' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:56:12 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 1 pagerange: 1-8 pubdom: TRUE publication: Cognition Technology and Work publisher: Springer Verlag refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 17:00:53 subjects: - soc-psy succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: The Creation of a New Minor Event Coding Scheme type: journalp userid: 4216 volume: 4
