2017 Q2 Human Error

[tfc82]

All feedback gratefully received. For some reason, suitable scenarios didn't spring easily to mind.

For both of the following, describe a scenario where human error may contribute to a hazardous condition on an operational railway:

1. an error made by a person operating the signalling system
   
2. an error made by a maintenance technician [10 marks]
   

For each of the scenarios you have described, what methods should be used to mitigate the risks
which might lead to an accident? [15 marks]
