Over the last few decades, we have learnt much more about the origins of human failures. The industries/organizations must consider human factor as a distinct element to be assessed and managed effectively in order to control risks. Some of the following accidents of Table 4.1 in different sectors provide clues to understand failures.

Table 4.1 illustrates how the failure of people at many levels within an organization can contribute to a major disaster. For many of these major accidents, the human failure was not the sole cause but one of a number of causes, including technical and organizational failures, which led to the final outcome. Remember that many “everyday” minor accidents and near misses also involve human failures. All major disasters lead to huge human, property, and environmental losses.

All this evidence shows that human error is a major cause of unreliability or causation of accidents.
