Human reliability analysis (HRA) has been conducted in previous studies to improve human performance in several industrial operations. However, human error predictions are greatly influenced by various performance-shaping factors (PSFs). Research also demonstrates that PSFs are interdependent, which thereby complicates the modeling and analysis. Therefore, this study performs HRA, for a tank overfilling accident scenario that resulted due to human failure. Fewer independent PSFs through careful classification were used to estimate tank overfilling probability resulting from different human-triggered factors. For HRA, this study uses a combination of the Standardized Plant Analysis Risk Human Reliability Analysis (SPAR-H) and Bayesian Belief Network (BBN). The failure probability distributions of individual interconnecting tasks were calculated using SPAR-H, and the probabilistic interdependence of each task to the final tank overfilling scenario was modeled using a BBN. From the current analysis, divergent stream identification is determined as the key to lead tank overfilling with 40% probability. This study concludes that BBN can be reliably employed in the Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) framework to examine human factors in industrial failure probability estimation for various other human-related industrial accident scenarios.
