    • Complacencia                                       Presión
    • Falta de conocimiento                        Falta de asertividad
    • Distracción                                            Estrés
    • Falta de trabajo en equipo                 Falta de conciencia

  • Para algunos, la noción de que el error humano no causa accidentes requerirá un cambio de paradigma. Algunos sentirán que solo estamos inventando excusas para una persona descuidada y él / ella debe ser responsabilizado por sus acciones.
  • La cultura justa y la docena sucia serán temas para futuros artículos.
  • ¡Podemos hacer algo acerca del error humano (esa es la buena noticia)! Podemos aprender a evitar cometer errores o, al menos, podemos disminuir las consecuencias cuando se comete un error. Bien, aquí hay un simple error:
  • ¿Alguna vez alguien ha dejado su tapa de gas apagada después de llenar con gas? ¿O peor, se marchó con la manguera aún conectada como en la imagen?
