TY - CONF A1 - Bertovic, Marija T1 - Automation in NDT: new risks and risk sources N2 - Reliability of NDT depends not only on the intrinsic capability of the measuring systems and on the application factors (the conditions under which NDT is applied), but also—and to a great extent—on human factors and the organisational context under which each inspection is carried out. Adoption of a systematic approach to the identification and prevention of risks. Critical defects could be missed, even if the inspection process is semi-automated. The causes of that risk lie in the technology, people and in the organisation. Currently installed preventive measures are insufficient to prevent from risks New preventive measures could be installed, e.g. further automation, installing alarms, implementing human redundancy, developing software and hardware solutions, optimising procedures, etc. Human factors studies are not only essential for the operation but also during the development process.
