Abstract
This study demonstrated that cognitive biases contributed to inappropriate interactions between liveware (L) and software (S), hardware (H), environment (E), or liveware (L), leading to the risk-taking decision and the organisational failures in risk and crisis management that caused the Fukushima Daiichi disaster. The validity of the model's inclusion of cognitive biases in other crashes or disasters was further confirmed by analysing 191 cases of crashes or disasters. As a lesson that we should learn from the Fukushima Daiichi disaster on how to prevent a future disaster, we proposed a cognitive bias (CB)-incorporated SHEL model for the prevention of crashes or disasters from the viewpoints of inadequate interactions between liveware and software, hardware, environment, or liveware resulting from cognitive biases.
期刊介绍:
Ergonomics, also known as human factors, is the scientific discipline that seeks to understand and improve human interactions with products, equipment, environments and systems. Drawing upon human biology, psychology, engineering and design, Ergonomics aims to develop and apply knowledge and techniques to optimise system performance, whilst protecting the health, safety and well-being of individuals involved. The attention of ergonomics extends across work, leisure and other aspects of our daily lives.
The journal Ergonomics is an international refereed publication, with a 60 year tradition of disseminating high quality research. Original submissions, both theoretical and applied, are invited from across the subject, including physical, cognitive, organisational and environmental ergonomics. Papers reporting the findings of research from cognate disciplines are also welcome, where these contribute to understanding equipment, tasks, jobs, systems and environments and the corresponding needs, abilities and limitations of people.
All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
