Recent Applications Of PII’s Integrated Event Investigation Technology
In 1998, PII was selected by the California Public Utilities Commission to investigate the San Francisco blackout event. In 1999, PII was selected by the government of Taiwan to investigate the Taiwan countrywide blackout event. In 2000, PII was selected to investigate the organizational and programmatic causes of thebonfire collapse event at Texas A&M University. […]
Probability of Rule Non-compliance Error
Safety or operational rules are established as Layers of Protections (LOPs) or Operational Event Barriers (OEBs) to minimize injury or operational event rates. These rules are bypassed in two ways. One way is that the rule of interest neither covers all conditions it intends to cover, nor is it designed adequately to be followed by […]
Event Or Injury Probability Analysis
One of the human error engineering tools is the analysis method to determine the probability of various types of events and injury in an organization. This tool can provide invaluable insight in: High risk events or injury Important factors affecting risk Root causes of past events and injury Cost-effective ways to prevent events and injury […]
Top Seven Human Error Traps For Every Organization
PII’s research has found that workers’ safety performance can be significantly improved when they understand what, when, and where they can be induced to make errors. The inducers that are commonly encountered at workplaces, also called human error traps, have been exhaustively studied by PII over the past twenty years. PII’s research results in two […]
Equipment Reliability Analysis And Improvement
PII has developed a comprehensive method of analyzing designs capable of determining the real-world reliability of the component or integrated production line and prioritize the CM and PM programs for maximum effectiveness. This method is called Critical Components Management (CCM). This method identifies those pieces of equipment and associated components which are critical to availability, […]
Equipment Root Cause Analysis And Training
Over the past twenty years, PII has performed more than 5000 equipment failure root cause analyses. With this depth of experience and and equipment failure modes information accumulated from long-term clients, we are able to maintain one of the largest data bases on how and why equipment fails, for more than 112 different types of […]
Integrated Vulnerability Analysis
PII’s Integrated Vulnerability Analysis (IVA) is conducted by PII’s qualified experts in the fields of human errors, procedural errors, process failures, and equipment failures. The IVA starts with the definition of disasters, based upon the significance level of abnormal events. Once the potential disaster events are defined, existing design barriers that confine the consequences are […]
Recent Applications Of PII’s Human Error Event Reduction Technology
PII has participated in many large-scale projects designed to reduce human-error related events. Recent projects include: From 1994 – 2011, PII has trained more than 10,000 professionals in human error reduction skills. This training has included: Seven Safe Habits Worker’s Error Reduction Skills Supervisor’s Error Reduction Skills Manager’s Human Error Reduction Skills Procedure Writing Error […]
Recent Applications Of PII’s Injury Reduction Technology
Some recent examples of how companies have used PII’s Injury Reduction technology to benefit their organizations: In 2008, PII was selected by China Light and Power as long-term partner to help reduce injury rates. CL&P is the main utility operating the distribution and transmission of electricity in Hong Kong, with subsidiaries in five countries. In […]
