FAA Maintenance problems >0.94 At the start of this presentation we said that individual errors were rare events. This is shown by the data above
Here are some human error rate data. You’ll notice that the error rates differ for each task type. Notice that the more routine tasks are performed more reliably.
Does this data suggest we should spend our time addressing knowledge-based mistakes (since they are more likely at any given opportunity)? No, workers experience far more opportunities to make skill-based errors. The number of opportunities to make an error performing skill-based actions far exceeds the number of opportunities to make knowledge-based errors.
