In 2005, the BP Texas City Refinery explosion killed fifteen workers and injured 180 more.
The Chemical Safety Board’s investigation found multiple procedural and human errors. Control and safety system failures also contributed to the disaster.
Understanding ADAS: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems and Their Role in Vehicle Safety and Investigation Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are becoming increasingly prominent in both personal and commercial vehicles. While the public often associates ADAS with cutting-edge technology and enhanced safety, these systems have a long history and carry significant
The Impact of Distracted Driving: A Human Factors Perspective Distracted driving is frequently discussed as a potential factor in traffic incidents resulting in injury or fatality. At ATA Associates, we approach these incidents with a focus on human factors—a field of study that examines how people interact with their environment,
