Human error is a widely discussed subject in socio-technical systems, especially in large industries where it has a profound impact. Process and maritime industries rely primarily on human performance thus human error is a highly relevant. It influences the safety, financial outcomes, and operational efficiency of an industry. This study presents a critical literature review from 2013 to 2023 by examining how human error is perceived and characterized in these (process and maritime) domains. The study aims to uncover the complexities of this subject by investigating the commonalities and differences in human error within these industries. The methodology used to identify human error, its interpretation, and demographic factors like geography and orientation by discipline are analyzed to provide a complete holistic view. The definition of human error and the framework used across these 2 industries is also investigated in the literature. By relying on a decade's worth of research, this preliminary work shed light on the prevailing themes and methods for managing human error. The insights from this work lay a foundation for future research and the development of precise interventions to mitigate the impact of human error, advocating for a safer and more robust industrial operational environment. Some recommendations are also provided at the end based on this literature review. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Despite very intense research, lots of efforts are focused on discovering what safety culture really is and what key elements make up a safety culture. However, there still remains very little consensus with regard to selection of most of the elements and no definitive set of elements exists. This paper aims to develop a conceptual model of selecting the key elements of safety culture and to demonstrate the application of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for the selection of key elements for safety culture. The concept of safety culture, review on elements of safety culture, methods of elements selection and AHP are discussed in the second part. Method for selection of elements from literature based criteria of a safety culture and method of AHP-based decision model is discussed in the third part. An AHP-based decision-making matrix for a set of SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound) criteria analysis of the key elements is presented at the end of the paper.
