Understanding Human Errors in Construction Industry: Where, When, How and Why We Make Mistakes
暫譯: 理解建築業中的人為錯誤：我們在何處、何時、如何以及為何犯錯

本書分析了工程中人為錯誤的起源及其影響。透過日常建設和大型事故的案例，說明了與錯誤產生相關的情況，以及預防錯誤的策略，最終目標是盡量減少成本超支、延誤和事故。

本書探討了與錯誤易發性相關的情況，回顧了約六十起真實建設中的事故或險些發生的事件，系統性分析了238起工程系統中的大型事故，從心理學的角度探討了人類表現失誤的起源，以及管理與錯誤易發性之間的關係。

Raphael Moura is a Regulatory Specialist and Researcher focused on the key elements of an effective safety management system at high-risk facilities, including human factors. He is Superintendent for R&D and Environment at the Brazilian National Agency for Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels -- ANP. Dr. Moura is also editor of the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems Part B: Mechanical Engineering. His industrial experience includes 8 years as Technician and as Engineer, designing offshore facilities for civilian and military applications.

Franz Knoll has continuously been involved in research about human errors in construction. He has been the voice of the practice, being a practical engineer himself during most of his career of more than 60 years. In his publications and lectures, he has discussed strategies and methods to limit the frequency of human errors (gross errors as recognized by Gauss) and their effect on the quality and proneness to accidents in construction work.

​Michael Beer is Professor and Head of the Institute for Risk and Reliability, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany. His research activity focuses on uncertainty quantification in engineering with emphasis on imprecise probabilities. He is Editor-in-Chief of the ASCE-ASME Journal of Risk and Uncertainty in Engineering Systems, Part A Civil Engineering and Part B Mechanical Engineering. He also served as Editor-in-Chief of the Encyclopedia of Earthquake Engineering (Springer 2015). He is Chairman of the European Safety and Reliability Association (ESRA) and Co-Chair of Risk and Resilience Measurements Committee (RRMC), Infrastructure Resilience Division (IRD), ASCE; he is serving on the Executive Board of the International Safety and Reliability Association (IASSAR) and on the Board of Directors of the International Association for Probabilistic Safety Assessment and Management (IAPSAM).

拉斐爾·莫拉（Raphael Moura）是一位專注於高風險設施有效安全管理系統關鍵要素的法規專家和研究員，包括人因因素。他是巴西國家石油、天然氣和生物燃料局（ANP）的研發與環境部門主管。莫拉博士同時也是《ASCE-ASME風險與不確定性工程系統期刊》第B部分：機械工程的編輯。他的工業經驗包括擔任技術員和工程師8年，設計民用和軍用的海上設施。

弗朗茲·克諾爾（Franz Knoll）持續參與有關建築中人為錯誤的研究。在他超過60年的職業生涯中，他一直是實踐的代言人，自己也是一名實務工程師。在他的出版物和演講中，他討論了限制人為錯誤（高斯所認可的重大錯誤）頻率及其對建築工作質量和事故傾向影響的策略和方法。

邁克爾·比爾（Michael Beer）是德國漢諾威大學風險與可靠性研究所的教授及所長。他的研究活動專注於工程中的不確定性量化，強調不精確概率。他是《ASCE-ASME風險與不確定性工程系統期刊》第A部分：土木工程和第B部分：機械工程的主編。他還曾擔任《地震工程百科全書》（Springer 2015）的主編。他是歐洲安全與可靠性協會（ESRA）的主席，以及風險與韌性測量委員會（RRMC）、基礎設施韌性部門（IRD）、ASCE的共同主席；他還在國際安全與可靠性協會（IASSAR）的執行委員會和國際概率安全評估與管理協會（IAPSAM）的董事會任職。
