Trabisnikof posted:The CSB is a relatively newer thing, the fact that we have any governmental organization mandated to make those kinds of recommendations is actually huge. Whether its due to managerial malice, systematic incompetence, or a series of what were thought to be improbably mistakes, CSB bulletins like that one are pretty great info sharing and reminders of things like unplugging hazardous lines is rightfully a butt clenching experience and that you should probably check whats inside your indeterminate vent header before opening it up to atmosphere.

No it's not. This isn't a sentient machine with the will to destroy people. It's a loving robot arm that will move as programmed and (if correctly serviced) is more trustworthy than any human. This, however, seems to be unsafe: "Art".

So many old control room were just terribly designed. They were designed by engineers with absolutely no regard for how humans take in information or react during a crisis. I think even Three Mile Island happened due to lovely control room design. I know of several air crashed which occurred because or poor alarm designs where the information just wasn't getting to the pilots that this particular alarm was what they needed to pay attention to, rather than the half a dozen other ones and the pilots got swamped with information rather than just being fed the important information. Control rooms can be pretty, though: It's a terrible design. Everything's far too similar in appearance and too far apart. But it looks nice.

One thing I liked in that control room video, which someone else also alluded to, is how all the alarms have a different tone and you can work out from the harmonies what particular combination of poo poo you are in at any point. It also seems to be tuned not to be in the same range as speech and also not deafeningly loud.

We have a very strong safety culture and most of the foreman worry about safety than getting the job done. It's honestly all the young foreman trying to make a name for themselves that they start taking chances and shortcuts to try and get production done. Can't get pipe in ground if you can't walk though, that's what they don't understand

This is a really big deal. Works like that for medical alarms, too. Walk through an ICU or even most hospital rooms and alarms are going off everywhere all the time, and they get ignored. If they're ignorable, they shouldn't be alarms in the first place. Here's a really loving great article on how despite fancy electronic ordering systems with multiple automated and manual check processes, a 16-year-old kid was dosed with 38.5 times the intended dose of antibiotics. quote:Computerized medication alerts represent only a small fraction of the false alarms that besiege clinicians each day. Barbara Drew, a nurse-researcher at UCSF, has been studying a similar problem, alarms in the ICU, for decades. During that time, she has seen them grow louder, more frequent, and more insistent. She has witnessed many Code Blues triggered by false alarms, as well as deaths when alarms were silenced by nurses who had simply grown weary of all the noise.

I am sure I watched a documentary about fighter jets that used the voices of the pilot's children as alarms. The idea being that the pilot would pay a lot more attention to them, rather than a computer voice. I can;t find anything on the web that refers to that - perhaps it was a prototype?

Never heard that, but it's not a "computer voice" in the first place, it's usually an actual person's digitally recorded voice. And it's true that early human factors research indicated that pilots were more likely to hear and respond to a female voice rather than a male one, so female speakers have typically been used for the enunciated warnings. That research, though, is from back in the days when pilots were almost exclusively men.

Wikipedia posted:"Early human factors research in aircraft and other domains indicated that female voices were more authoritative to male pilots and crew members and were more likely to get their attention. Much of this research was based on pilot experiences, particularly in combat situations, where the pilots were being guided by female air traffic controllers. They reported being able to most easily pick out the female voice from amid the flurry of radio chatter.

I remember in different simulator situations hearing "DON'T SINK!", "DON'T FALL!", and of course "TERRAIN! PULL UP!". Wasn't sure about the difference between the sink and fall warning. (Unless I misheard it and it was saying "DON'T STALL"). Oh cool they have video files with all the different voice warnings! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNwd1qXt3RI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5Z-d1Zx02o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hw1VhTkg1ic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cnoAjFfkb0 <-- this is my favorite it's like something out of the late 70s TERRAIN TERRAIN TERRAIN TERRAIN TERRAIN DESCEND DESCEND DESCEND DESCEND DESCEND DESCEND NOW Clear of conflict.

Airbus' "RETARD, RETARD" when the autopilot sees 10ft AGL is my personal favorite. Also, a lot of those sorts of calls can be customized by the customer, and vary between individual airframes within a type. Some foreign carriers where English is a second language sometimes have call-outs that sound very odd to Americans.

It's really gotta suck when you're the one assigned to train people in this. Every job in the military comes with an inherent risk but I can't think of many things that involve teaching a newbie how to throw around explosives. Do they not first teach people proper throwing technique, or at least how to throw overhand, with dummy grenades/softballs/rocks? Maybe you'd want to get that down first before handing them something that'll blow your face off. On the same topic, here's everyone's favourite soldier teaching us how not to fire a field gun. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4sKSaEG4bg I was always under the impression that you had one guy loading the gun and another guy who aimed and fired it. Neither of which stood directly behind the barrel of the gun.
