Abstract: Abstract In power plants, maintenance is an important activity and it consumes a significant proportion of the total amount of money spent on power generation. A number of studies conducted over the years indicate that human error in maintenance is an important factor in the occurrence of power generation safety-related incidents [1, 2]
