Abstract :
Organizational epidemiology is the empirical study of factors or conditions that may lead to human performance problems in organizational settings. The EPRI Strategic Human Performance Program has supported investigation of the extent to which existing data at power plants (as opposed to potential new types of observations) could enable prediction of operational trends reflecting human performance. This paper presents an overview of the project and its principal findings.
