  • Summary

  • The article, "¿Confundidos?", argues that the prevailing approach to industrial safety, which emphasizes "human error" as the primary cause of accidents, is flawed. It criticizes existing safety practices such as "Human Factors," "Human Performance Management," and "Human Reliability" as insufficient because they fail to consider the complex factors influencing human behavior in high-risk environments. The author contends that instead of focusing on training individuals to be flawless, systems themselves should be redesigned to be more human-centered and adaptable to the inevitable possibility of errors. This shift in perspective, the article suggests, is crucial for genuinely enhancing safety in industries such as chemical plants and oil platforms.
