Review of human reliability assessment methods

Human reliability assessment (HRA) involves the use of qualitative and quantitative methods to assess the human contribution to risk. There are many and varied methods available for HRA, with some high hazard industries developing ‘bespoke’, industry focused methods.

Therefore, this project was commissioned to further HSE knowledge and expertise, and to form a view on the ‘acceptability’ of the various tools for use in risk assessments.
