Cognitive capabilities/error modes
• Perception and Vigilance– Visual search failure– Monitoring failure– Expectation bias– Association bias– Spatial, visual or auditory information confusion– Discrimination problem– Information overload– Vigilance problem– Distraction or preoccupation– Tunnelling– Out of sight bias
• Response Execution– Problem of habit– Spatial confusion– Lack of manual precision– Acting on similar-looking objects– Failing to speak clearly– Timing error– Positioning error
• Planning and Decision Making– Incorrect knowledge– Lack of knowledge– Prospective memory failure– Misunderstand communication– Information integration failure– Fixation– Incorrect assumption– Incorrect priority of task– Denial of risk– Failure to recognise risk– Inadequate/incomplete mental model
• Memory– Similarity of information– Memory capacity overload– Negative transfer of information– Mis-stored, not learned information– Rarely used information– Long-term memory failure– Short-term memory failure– Prospective memory failure

Cognitive biases 2
Representativeness
• We assume things follow predictable patterns
• Gamblers’ fallacy: luck will change soon
![Page 17: why do we do what we do? - Tank Storage Association€¦ · HSE Assurance: Leading Indicators. From the . Barrier Management Plan . we will be able to define Leading Indicators for](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051512/603fb1cbd67a4026121e8cbd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Cognitive biases 3Availability
• Emotional salience affects our recall and actions
• We rely on recent experience, or exaggerate low probabilities (never happened to me)
• Prior successful performance increases risk taking (getting away with it)

Cognitive biases 4Loss aversion
• The ‘pain’ of loss is twice as great as the reward from a gain.
• So a certain loss of convenience is valued over a possible increase in risk.
![Page 21: why do we do what we do? - Tank Storage Association€¦ · HSE Assurance: Leading Indicators. From the . Barrier Management Plan . we will be able to define Leading Indicators for](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051512/603fb1cbd67a4026121e8cbd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Cognitive biases 5Confirmation bias
• We over-emphasise information that supports what we think
• We diminish the importance of information that contradicts what we believe
• We stick with a flawed plan
The facts
Things you
already believe

Case Study – nitric acid release consequenceNitric Acid Tanker Release
Event DescriptionFollowing a routine inspection of the bund around an external nitric acid tank, the sub-contractor in charge of this area noticed that the bund was 30% full. He ordered a tanker from a cleaning agency, which came onto site and pumped out the liquid. Within 15 minutes of emptying the bund a significant emission of orange toxic fumes (NOx) suddenly occurred from the tanker’s exhaust valve. There was also some liquid spillage from holes in the metal walls of the road tanker. The alarm was sounded and the site emergency plan put in place. There were no injuries to personnel and no loss of liquid off site. There was some short term local press interest.

management of the availability and reliability of safety critical elements. Leading indicators will be defined
for people, plant and processes that will be part of the safety performance standards.
