| Description | Understanding human limitations of control
room response became more apparent following the sinking of the
semi-submersible P-36 offshore Brazil in March of 2001. The purpose of the work was
to improve the way in which human factors is integrated within safety
management in hazardous industries, both offshore and onshore. This was achieved
through development and validation of the Influence Network (IN) technique.
The IN approach is founded on systems theory and provides a method of
understanding and measuring the nature of underlying influences that affect
safety performance and the likelihood of an undesirable event occurring.
The research was undertaken in three
main stages:
The project developed a philosophical approach for the understanding of human limitations in facility control rooms and management and response to alarms. |

| Progress |
MMS participation in the project ended in March of 2008
with plans for the research to continue for one additional year.
Additional reports and software developed during the Joint Industry Project are being held proprietary due to co-funding and contracting agreement of the multiple participants. |
