Human Error

Operations Procedures

Human Error is a mistake by personnel, such as a mis-operation, wrong switching action or skipped step, that causes or worsens a data center incident. It is a leading root cause of outages, which is why facilities rely on method statements, peer verification, training and change control to reduce the frequency and impact of human mistakes.
