ABSTRACT
There have been made increasing efforts to gain an awareness of human element issues. The traditional view that human error is the major cause of all accidents is being challenged by some who consider human error to be a symptom of deeper problems with the system. Errors can be induced through bad design, poor training or poor/inadequate management systems. Indeed, some argue that modern technology has reached a point where improved safety can only be achieved on the basis of a better understanding of human element within the system.
