Abstract: In this work, a new procedure called Human Factor Risk Management (HFRM) was developed in order to integrate Human Factor in a Refinery Risk Management System. Taking into consideration historical data regarding Environmental Accidents, Near miss, Injuries and Operating accidents occurred in a refinery over the last years a panel of experts defined the performance shaping factors (PSFs) and risk associated with adverse events. A conceptual model, based on Association Rules (AR), has been proposed for investigating the network of influences among adverse event typology, human error causes, refinery plant area involved in the adverse event, performance shaping factors (PSFs), risk index and corrective actions.
