It should be noted that PIFs are not automatically associated with human error.
PIFs such as quality of procedures, level of time stress, and effectiveness of training, will vary on a continuum from the best practicable (e.g. an ideally designed training program based on a proper training needs analysis) to worst possible (corresponding to no training program at all).
When PIFs relevant to a particular situation are optimal then performance will also be optimal and error likelihood will be minimised.
