10 types of human error

Information that I got is from human resources slides from a company which i use to work before, explaining the most common errors defined and explained.

• Forgetfulness (not concentrating)
• Errors in mis-communications (jump to conclusions)
• Errors in identification (view incorrectly...too far away)
• Errors made by untrained workers
• Willful errors (ignore rules)
• Inadvertent errors (distraction, fatigue)
• Errors due to slowness (delay in judgment)
• Errors due to lack of standards (written & visual)
• Surprise errors (machine not capable, malfunctions)
• Intentional errors (sabotage - least common)
