Predictive Safety Risk Assessment Methods Applicable in Aviation Ergonomics

Ergonomics ensures the tools, procedures, and environment that employees use is appropriate to fit the employee's job requirements and personal capabilities. Ergonomic hazards are situations in workplace that can cause human failure. This can include repetition, awkward posture, forceful motion, stationary position, direct pressure, vibration, extreme temperature, noise, work stress, and other. In aviation, the SHELL model is a conceptual model that defines the relationship between aviation system environment and the human component. Overall goal is to improve human performance with respect to health, safety, and work environment. Performance measurement and risk assessment of any operator in aviation are fundamental to management planning and control activities. To achieve this purpose, safety risk assessment methods are developed and used. This paper provides the overview of safety risk assessment methods in ergonomics such as Systems- Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA) method, the Event Analysis of Systemic Teamwork Broken Links (EAST-BL) method, and the Network Hazard Analysis and Risk Management System (Net-HARMS) method, with the special emphasis on predictive safety risk assessment methods such as Lumbar Motion Monitor Method, the Occupational Repetitive Action (OCRA) Methods (OCRA Index and OCRA Checklist), Systematic Human Error Reduction and Prediction Approach (SHERPA), Task Analysis for Error Identification (TAFEI), the Multiple Resources Time-Sharing Model (MRTSM), the Situational Awareness Global Assessment Technique (SAGAT), and the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference Systems (ANFIS). Paper outlines the advantages and applicability of predictive safety risk assessment methods in aviation ergonomics.
