It often breaks down tasks into smaller subtasks to describe how they are done. \nSafety Critical Task Analysis (SCTA)\, on the other hand\, focuses on tasks that are critical to preventing major accidents. These are tasks where human factors can contribute to\, cause\, or fail to mitigate a major accident. \nDefinition of a Safety Critical Task (SCT):\nAn SCT is any task where human error could: \n\nCause or contribute to a major accident\nFail to prevent or mitigate one\n\nSCTs occur in various operational contexts\, such as: \n\nOperational tasks: e.g.\, loading liquid petroleum gas (LPG)\, sampling hazardous substances\, or isolating piping/equipment.\nPrevention and detection: e.g.\, testing safety systems or overriding safety functions.\nControl and mitigation: e.g.\, testing pressure safety valves or firewater pumps.\nEmergency response: e.g.\, deploying firefighting equipment or launching lifeboats.\n\nA “major accident” refers to an event like a large emission\, fire\, or explosion that poses serious risks to health or the environment\, as defined by the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations. \nSCTA Process\n\nIdentify Safety Critical Tasks: Determine which tasks are critical to safety.\nPrioritize SCTs for Analysis: Decide which tasks need deeper analysis.\nAnalyze Human Actions: Study which human actions or inactions could lead to failure.\nInstall Layers of Protection: Develop safeguards to reduce human error or its consequences.\n\nSCTA is often conducted during project design or safety updates\, but it’s increasingly embedded into operations as an ongoing activity\, especially when tasks and equipment change. \nImportance of Embedding SCTA in Operations\nFor large-scale operations\, getting specialist input at every site may not be practical. Therefore\, companies are building SCTA knowledge within their workforce\, especially at the management and supervisory levels. This approach improves: \n\nRisk assessment quality\nIncident investigations\nImprovement suggestions\n\nSCTA also supports better maintenance and safety culture by giving personnel a structured way to examine their procedures. This can reveal key barriers to safety and the steps necessary to protect them. \nPerformance Influencing Factors (PIFs)\nA key element of SCTA is understanding PIFs. These factors can either strengthen or degrade safety barriers. Personnel who are familiar with these factors can: \n\nRecognize when safeguards are failing\nUnderstand how human performance impacts safety\n\nBenefits of SCTA\nA well-executed SCTA program can lead to: \n\nImproved major accident hazard (MAH) safety performance\nFewer environmental incidents\nReduced production downtime\nImproved quality\nCost reduction in major projects\n\nIn summary\, SCTA is a powerful tool for analyzing human factors in safety-critical tasks\, helping to prevent major accidents and improve safety performance across industries. \nWho Should Attend\n\nPlant Managers\nProcess Safety specialists\nProcess plant designers\nSupervisors\nSenior process operators\nProcedures and training developers\n\nKey Learning Objectives\n\nUnderstand Human Factors and SCTA\nUnderstand the different types of human error that need to be addressed within process safety\nBe able to use techniques such as Hierarchical Task Analysis\, Human Failure and Consequence analyses\, and Performance Influencing Factors evaluations  for simple tasks\nBe able to develop risk-informed procedures and competency standards based on the results of the SCTA work\nStart to think about developing policies and a programme of work using SCTA to address human factors in process safety\, with particular emphasis on satisfying regulatory requirements such as COMAH\n\nEnquiry Form\n\n\n \n \n SalutationMr.Ms.Miss.Mrs.Mdm.Dr.Prof.Capt.-Name*\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Phone*Email*\n \n Company*Current Location* \n \n \n AfghanistanAlbaniaAlgeriaAmerican SamoaAndorraAngolaAnguillaAntarcticaAntigua and BarbudaArgentinaArmeniaArubaAustraliaAustriaAzerbaijanBahamasBahrainBangladeshBarbadosBelarusBelgiumBelizeBeninBermudaBhutanBoliviaBonaire\, Sint Eustatius and SabaBosnia and HerzegovinaBotswanaBouvet IslandBrazilBritish Indian Ocean TerritoryBrunei DarussalamBulgariaBurkina FasoBurundiCambodiaCameroonCanadaCape VerdeCayman IslandsCentral African RepublicChadChileChinaChristmas IslandCocos IslandsColombiaComorosCongoCongo\, Democratic Republic of theCook IslandsCosta RicaCroatiaCubaCuraçaoCyprusCzechiaCôte d'IvoireDenmarkDjiboutiDominicaDominican RepublicEcuadorEgyptEl SalvadorEquatorial GuineaEritreaEstoniaEswatiniEthiopiaFalkland IslandsFaroe IslandsFijiFinlandFranceFrench GuianaFrench PolynesiaFrench Southern TerritoriesGabonGambiaGeorgiaGermanyGhanaGibraltarGreeceGreenlandGrenadaGuadeloupeGuamGuatemalaGuernseyGuineaGuinea-BissauGuyanaHaitiHeard Island and McDonald IslandsHoly SeeHondurasHong KongHungaryIcelandIndiaIndonesiaIranIraqIrelandIsle of ManIsraelItalyJamaicaJapanJerseyJordanKazakhstanKenyaKiribatiKorea\, Democratic People's Republic ofKorea\, Republic ofKuwaitKyrgyzstanLao People's Democratic RepublicLatviaLebanonLesothoLiberiaLibyaLiechtensteinLithuaniaLuxembourgMacaoMadagascarMalawiMalaysiaMaldivesMaliMaltaMarshall IslandsMartiniqueMauritaniaMauritiusMayotteMexicoMicronesiaMoldovaMonacoMongoliaMontenegroMontserratMoroccoMozambiqueMyanmarNamibiaNauruNepalNetherlandsNew CaledoniaNew ZealandNicaraguaNigerNigeriaNiueNorfolk IslandNorth MacedoniaNorthern Mariana IslandsNorwayOmanPakistanPalauPalestine\, State ofPanamaPapua New GuineaParaguayPeruPhilippinesPitcairnPolandPortugalPuerto RicoQatarRomaniaRussian FederationRwandaRéunionSaint BarthélemySaint Helena\, Ascension and Tristan da CunhaSaint Kitts and NevisSaint LuciaSaint MartinSaint Pierre and MiquelonSaint Vincent and the GrenadinesSamoaSan MarinoSao Tome and PrincipeSaudi ArabiaSenegalSerbiaSeychellesSierra LeoneSingaporeSint MaartenSlovakiaSloveniaSolomon IslandsSomaliaSouth AfricaSouth Georgia and the South Sandwich IslandsSouth SudanSpainSri LankaSudanSurinameSvalbard and Jan MayenSwedenSwitzerlandSyria Arab RepublicTaiwanTajikistanTanzania\, the United Republic ofThailandTimor-LesteTogoTokelauTongaTrinidad and TobagoTunisiaTurkmenistanTurks and Caicos IslandsTuvaluTürkiyeUS Minor Outlying IslandsUgandaUkraineUnited Arab EmiratesUnited KingdomUnited StatesUruguayUzbekistanVanuatuVenezuelaViet NamVirgin Islands\, BritishVirgin Islands\, U.S.Wallis and FutunaWestern SaharaYemenZambiaZimbabweÅland Islands\n Country\n \n \n How many people are you looking at?1 - 2 Standard Rates3 - 5 Group Discount>10 In-House Training\, Huge Savings!Undecided\, need more informationThis is just an approximate number.
