The introduction of mandatory certification and a technical standard (NS9415) has led to a reduction in the number of escaped fish, particularly in relation to the total breakdown of the installations (Jensen et al., 2010). Despite this, escapes still occur, and human error is often claimed to be the main contributing cause for these accidents. To achieve the Norwegian 0-vision for escapes of fish from aquaculture installations it is important to understand the mandatory systems and conditions at the workplace which humans are to perform within.
The objective is to establish research-based knowledge of human factors which can be related to escapes, in order to develop solutions that will help prevent and reduce escapes caused by """"human errors"""" in the future.
Goal:
To establish a knowledge base for the development of solutions that prevent escape accidents as a result of human error.
Sub-goals:
1. To identify the causes of known escape accidents with a focus on the human role in the course of events.
2. To identify work operations where human actions are critical for safe execution.
3. To gain experience with safety management in other industries, and assess methods, measures and systems that are relevant to avoid wrongdoing in aquaculture operations.
4. To exchange experiences with the aquaculture industry in other salmon-producing countries.
5. To describe a best practice design for the development of future solutions that reduce the risk of escape as a result of human error.
6. To establish a knowledge base for setting limit values and developing procedures that reduce the risk of escape during critical operations.
7. To develop concept solutions that facilitate good interaction between people and technology and reduce the risk of wrongdoing."
