Human Error Probability Estimation in ATEX-HMI Area Classification: from THERP to FUZZY CREAM
ATEX (explosive atmosphere) risk assessment is required when any equipment or system can potentially cause explosive atmospheres. Although many operations are performed by operators, influences from human and organizational factors (HOFs) are mostly neglected. In order to address HOFs influence, the...

| description | ATEX (explosive atmosphere) risk assessment is required when any equipment or system can potentially cause explosive atmospheres. Although many operations are performed by operators, influences from human and organizational factors (HOFs) are mostly neglected. In order to address HOFs influence, the ATEX-HMI (Human-Machine Interaction) methodology is proposed: it aims at integrating HOFs into each step of the standard ATEX risk assessment. The first step faced is Area classification: the ATEX-HMI methodology introduces the Human Error Probability (HEP) into the zone calculation procedure. Human Reliability Analysis (HRA) is the main method for the HEP assessment, thus two HRA methods were applied for the ATEX-HMI methodology. The first one, THERP, demonstrated an efficient quantitative precision, but it was not easily applicable to real industries. Then, the Cognitive Reliability and Error Analysis Method (CREAM) was adopted, together with a complementary FUZZY application for quantitative analysis. The present paper introduces the FUZZY CREAM application, also showing a comparative analysis of THERP and FUZZY CREAM, on the basis of a food plant case study. |
