During verification (checking) of the fault trees, it is crucial that fault trees involving crew operations are verified by comparison with flight reference cards and operating manuals, and wherever possible by consulting flight test pilots who have experience on the system. The same is true for verification of fault trees with maintainer operations, where the advice of experienced maintainers is invaluable. 

Some source of ignition caused hydrogen explosions within the reactor buildings on March 12, 14 and 15, and these explosions were captured by television crews operating several miles away with zoom lenses. 

According to the previous assumptions and with respect to the flight crews operational rules we chose the input variables for linguistic variable Training ...

The ship s safety is substantially affected by many factors including ship owner management quality, crew operation quality, enhanced survey programme, degree of machinery redundancy, fire-fighting capability, navigation equipment level, corrosion control and preventive maintenance policy. In order to identify the salient factors and interactions that cause excessive variations, a trial application of Taguchi methods is performed here to optimise each factor to attain the optimal safety for the ship. 

Various factors such as design features, ship owner management quality, crew operation quality, etc. have different degrees of influence on ship s overall safety performance throughout its life cycle. This will further be complicated when all these factors are evaluated simultaneously to obtain the optimised solution. The prime objective of this study is to identify the factors and their associated reasons for high risks and to suggest measures that would reduce the overall risk level of the ship. 

Competent crew operation quality is essential. Factor Hi is strongly recommended. 

Fail-safety in crew operations is a subject which has become more prominent in the last decade (refer INT/POL/25/14), under terms such as human factors engineering . The fundamental principle is that if the design is vulnerable to human error, then an accident is bound to happen.
