ABSTRACT

On the other hand, some contemporary approaches to HRA such as “A Technique for Human Error Analysis”—ATHEANA (Barriere et al. 2000), the Connectionism Assessment of Human Reliability (CAHR) based on Sträter (2000) and the Cognitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method (CREAM) by Hollnagel (1998) were developed around the principle that the fundamental element is, in fact, the context in which the task is performed, reducing previous emphasis on the task characteristics per se and on a hypothetical inherent human error probability.
