Human errors in fatal and serious occupational accidents in Finland / Simo Salminen and Tuija Tallberg

Sumario: The aim of this study is to examine the effect of human error on industrial accidents. Of accidents, 84-94% were due mainly to human error.

The results showed that the SRK model is suitable for analyzing accidents in industrial work using rather simple technology
