该工具的目标包括:-为操作人员提供一种工具，以识别潜在条件和人为错误的机会，并改进过程危害分析/危害评估/再验证过程处理人为因素的方式。该工具的范围包括现有操作、设备和人工任务。该工具的目的是在没有关于人为因素的具体培训的情况下使用。这是一个简单的过程，用于收集一些熟悉设备/工艺的操作员和机械师，他们有资格确定设备和任务（可能出错的情况）中存在的陷阱（潜在条件），这些陷阱容易让人出错。

The objectives of this tool include:-providing a tool for operating crews to identify opportunities for latent conditions and human error, and-improve how Process Hazards Analysis/Hazard Evaluation/Revalidation process address human factors.The scope of this tool includes existing operations and equipment and human tasks. This tool is intended for use without specific training on human factors. This is a simple process for gathering a few operators and mechanics who are familiar with the equipment/process and who are qualified to identify where traps (latent conditions) in the equipment and tasks (error likely scenarios) exist that make it easy for people to do something wrong.
