Abstract
Major chemical accidents generally have multiple causes traceable to mistakes made during design, maintenance, and operation. Several safety control approaches are possible, depending upon human error type and task/work conditions. This paper discusses the nature of human error and the role of predictive analysis and analysis of event reports in safety control during design and operation. Mistakes of operators, maintenance staff, and management are considered
