The use of fault tree analysis to visualise the importance of human factors for safe diving with closed-circuit rebreathers (CCR)
S Tetlow and S Jenkins
Abstract: Closed-circuit rebreathers (CCR) have been used for many years in military diving but have only recently been adopted by technical leisure divers, media and scientific divers. Rebreather divers appreciate the value of training, pre-dive checks and equipment maintenance, but it is often difficult to visualise just how important these factors are and how they inter-relate for a rebreather. In this paper, the well-known technique of fault tree analysis (FTA) is used to identify risk in a rebreather. Due to space constraints, only the branch of the tree for unconsciousness as a result of hyperoxia is considered in detail but, in common with the whole tree, end events are shown to be human-factor related. The importance of training to the emergency situation, the use of formal pre-dive checklists and the value of good design to prevent accident escalation are discussed further.

Dr. Tetlow has kindly given permission to distribute it. I will put it up on my website on Saturday when I get home.

I found this article fascinating for a couple of reasons. First, using Fault Tree Analysis is a new and useful way to review CCR accidents. And second, it explores the man-machine interface and how it can contribute to accidents.

They have covered a lot of ground in a short paper, so there's lots of room to go forward from here.

The article is now online in the library of my website. It's called Fault Tree Analysis with CCR - Dr S Tetlow, S Jenkins
