Human Factors Approach An efficient management tool for the safety of Nuclear Transportation

Within the Nuclear Industry, a majority of actors are very sure of the reliability of their industrial, logistics process and organization, of their well-trained employees and well-fitted tools. In fact our first mistake is often to consider that efficient organization is enough. We never reach the “No Error level” because we also forget that “to err is human”. LEMARECHAL CELESTIN (LMC), which is a transport Company subsidiary of TN International located in France, has tested out a Human Factors Approach as an efficient means in order to tend towards the “No Error level”. The Human Factor Approach can help the nuclear Industrialists to analyse the reported incidents, to estimate the risks and thus to avoid the deadly accident. By using the human dimension on decision process this approach is to reinforce a real culture of transport safety.
