This paper addresses the impact of Human and Organization Errors (HOE) on the reliability assessments of existing offshore platforms. It examines how quantitative Probabilistic Risk Analyses (PRA) can be used as a tool to help evaluate the impact of HOE management alternatives to improve the reliability of existing platforms. Consideration of HOE is an extension of traditional PRA with several new layers of evaluations. These layers include the individual operators on the platform and the organizations or groups of people that influence the performance of the system.
