"…a comprehensive overview of the several types of human errors that can occur in any industrial plant or research lab. The result of the author's observations of human error over 36 years of work as an operator illustrated in this book make this book unique and very useful for both academia and industry."
—Nayef Ghasem, United Arab Emirates University
"…explores a broad range of practical plant and facility operation issues and considerations, providing explanations for human errors which better enable us to prevent similar or repeat incidents from human errors. The general focus on worker attitudes, training and competency assurance, workplace supervision, management, operating procedures and design, promises the reader an interesting introduction into understanding human errors in the workplace."
—Dr. Chit Lutchman, Safety Erudite, Inc.
"The author has done a good job organizing and illustrating the various types of human error. I found the chapters on design errors and management errors especially enlightening. My experience in incident investigation has told me that these areas of human error are often not adequately addressed during root cause incident investigation. I recommend this book to those involved in designing and operating chemical processes as well as those involved in incident investigation."
