Failure to adjust working conditions can lead to accidents, incidents, and even occupational diseases that lead to work withdrawal and may be permanent. Such a situation reduces the available human resources and overwhelms their peers, resulting in a looping effect. Inappropriate use of the technology may compromise the operational performance of appliances, machinery and equipment. Often the misuse by the physical asset operator can have serious consequences, such as the Three Mile Island accident (1979). Thus, the importance of the human factor in the reliability of a system is emphasized. Human reliability as a science is applicable to various industry sectors and its purpose is to analyze human error and its impact on productivity, safety and quality. Taking the human factor as a critical link of a system, the main objective of this paper is to compare the usability of certain human reliability assessment methods. The similarities and, mainly, the differences between them are shown, being the techniques choosen THERP, SLIM-MAUD, ATHEANA, CREAM and MERMOS. Thus, an exploratory research supported by a bibliographic study was developed, as well as a comparative table of these methods. With this study it was verified that the procedures of prediction and analysis of failures, hitherto focused on industrial projects and processes, associated to equipment failures, can be extended for use in the control and prevention of failures committed by people.Downloads
