I thought this post was going to show me something profound but it’s clearly a surface level idea without any real knowledge of the topic. Human error comes in many forms and from a safety perspective we want to identify what impacts human error will have and then work to reduce the risk associated with each one to as low as is reasonably practicable.

Process design, interface design, organisation and manning, ergonomics etc all play a role.

It is inevitable that a human will make an error, with a well designed system it should be very very hard for them to do so.
