In order to identify potential human factors, it is suggested that a checklist be used. Indeed, during a hazard identification session, like a HAZOP, hundreds of scenarios involving a human factor evaluation could emerge. Therefore, a checklist could be used to help the team in consistently identifying the hazards and evaluating the decrease or increase of the likelihood of the scenario related to the human factors. For instance, the hazard identification team can use the checklist during the HAZOP to discuss the scenario in depth; otherwise, the checklist can be utilised before the HAZOP study, helping the team in adopting a unitary view of the process respect to the human factors and favouring a better preparation of the team to the next hazard and risk assessments. A possible checklist is in Table 5.4.
