Summary
This information paper suggests an ALARP-based approach to human error risk in the Australian offshore petroleum industry. It treats error as a barrier-defeating factor and outlines critical-task identification, error classification, performance-shaping factor analysis and control evaluation, distinguishing prevention from recovery and consequence mitigation.
