The design of such systems is enhanced by experience feedback.Methods: The study was focused on a survey related to the observation of working cases, and by processingof incident/accident statistics and semistructured interviews in the qualitative part. In order toconsolidate the study approach, we considered a schedule for the purpose of standard statistical measurements.We tried to be unbiased by supporting an exhaustive list of all worker categories includingage, sex, educational level, prescribed task, accountability level, etc. The survey was reinforced by aschedule distributed to 300 workers belonging to two oil companies. This schedule comprises 30 itemsrelated to six main factors that influence human reliability.Results: Qualitative observations and schedule data processing had shown that the sociocultural factorscan negatively and positively influence operator behaviors.Conclusion: The explored sociocultural factors influence the human reliability both in qualitative andquantitative manners. The proposed model shows how reliability can be enhanced by some measuressuch as experience feedback based on, for example, safety improvements, training, and information.With that is added the continuous systems improvements to improve sociocultural reality and to reducenegative behaviors.Copyright  2016, Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute.
