TY - CONF A1 - Bertovic, Marija T1 - How can we use psychology to optimize the NDT inspection process and prevent human error N2 - The aim of this presentation is to highlight how psychology can be used to prevent human error. It starts with examples of accidents, incidents and events that have happened due to too little attention being dedicated to human factors. It continues arguing that human factors are one of the main factors influencing the reliability of non-destructive testing and gives definitions of the main terms. Furthermore, it presents a method used to identify risks in mechanized NDT to be used for the purposes of the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and presents a study, in which human-centred design and eye tracking have been used to optimism the inspection procedure. The conclusion is that human factors methods can be used to identify problems during the inspection process and generate mitigation strategies that can be used to decrease human error and enhance safety.
