Human error and response to alarms in process safety

Human operators are required to respond to alarms in normal conditions, and also to find solutions to unexpected situations in real time. The aim of this study is to increase the knowledge of human responses to alarms in the context of occupational situations. It describes how humans contribute to a...

The aim of this study is to increase the knowledge of human responses to alarms in the context of occupational situations. It describes how humans contribute to accidents, and pays special attention to the assurance of process safety assurance, which is in part realized by timely reactions to system alarms. An experiment involving an operator´s reaction times to alarm signals was undertaken to investigate whether there are differential responses to visual as opposed to auditory alarms. The findings in the research show that visual alarm indicators are perceived faster than auditory signals. Furthermore, there was a significant negative correlation between the number of errors and reaction time, indicating an individual difference in error-proneness when reacting to visual alarms in a supervisory task.Operadores humanos responden a alarmas en condiciones normales y también en situaciones inesperadas y anormales en tiempo real. El objetivo de este estudio consiste en aumentar el conocimiento de las reacciones humanas a alarmas en el ámbito laboral. Describe como los humanos pueden contribuir a accidentes y presta atención a la seguridad del proceso que se efectúa en el tiempo de reacción a las alarmas de sistema. Este experimento fue ejecutado para investigar si hay diferencias en respuestas diferenciales a alarmas visuales comparándolas a alarmas auditivas. Los resultados indican que las alarmas visuales son percibidas de manera más eficiente que las alarmas auditivas. Incluso, se pudo ver una correlación negativa entre la cantidad de errores y el tiempo de reacción, lo que indica una diferencia individual en su disposición a errores cuando reaccionan a alarmas visuales en operaciones de supervisión.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia (Sede Medellín).
