Coding Scheme for Human Factors
Within Inspection Reports and Licensee Event Reports (LERs), discussions of human performance problems are coded into one of the following categories (updated January 2006): Training, Procedures and Reference Documents, Fitness for Duty, Oversight, Problem Identification & Resolution, Communication, Human - System Interface and Environment, and Work Planning and Practices. Each identified human performance problem is also assigned an "area" and a "detail" code. See the table below for a listing of the possible codes:
