Can Human Error Be Stopped?

How About This

Can human error be stopped? I’ve seen it done.

Want an example? Here’s one…

Stovr Example of Stopping Human Error

It’s the results of an experiment. Students were asked to turn on a specific burner on a stove. The results are on the right side of the picture. The worst example is about a 10% error rate. That’s horrible human performance.

The best example? A 0% human error rate. Zero errors in 1,200 tries. They STOPPED human error. The same type of people (students). Same training. Just one human factors change – the arrangement of the controls and the burners.

That’s one example. But it proves that, in at least some cases, stopping a human error can be done.

Not every example completely stops human errors, but many examples significantly reduce human errors.
