explain the factor responsible for the accident
Answers
Aviation safety experts have realized for some time that aircraft incidents and accidents almost always result from a series of events, each of which is associated with one or more cause factors. Thus, the cause of an accident or incident has many aspects. Some internationally accepted definitions in the context of the investigation of an aircraft accident or incident are listed below (ICAO, 1994):
Causes are actions, omissions, events, conditions, or a combination thereof, that lead to an accident or incident.
Accidents are occurrences associated with the operation of aircraft, from the time any person boards an aircraft with the intention of flight until the time all persons have disembarked, that results in one or more of the following:
A person is fatally or seriously injured.
The aircraft sustains damage or structural failure that adversely affects the structural strength, performance, or flight characteristics of the aircraft and would normally require major repair or replacement of the affected component.
The aircraft is missing or completely inaccessible.
Incidents are occurrences, other than acciden
The human factors include but also go beyond wilful violations of safety rules or blatantly engaging in risky behavior. They include factors such as inattention, fatigue, and impairment from drugs or alcohol.
Safeopedia explains Human Factors Causing Accidents
It is important to consider and assess the human factors when investigating an accident. But this by no means condones or advocates placing blame on the workers. Many of the human factors causing accidents are not wilful behaviors.
Human factors are responsible for large number of accidents that occur in a workplace. The following human factors are common causes of accidents:
Memory lapses (including forgetting a step in the work process or a safety measure)
Impaired judgment or reduced reasoning power
Inattention or distraction
Delayed or false sensation of the sensory organs
Lack of competence and experience
Skill level inadequate for the task performed
Personality or attitude, such as negligence, arrogance, or overconfidence
Poor risk perception due to poor knowledge and experience
Accidents caused by human factors may be prevented or reduced by implementing the following preventative measures:
Training and awareness
Supervision, monitoring, and controlling
Feedback and reports
Frequent inspections and audits
Skill development
Education
