HRA’s SCTA Top 10 Quickfire Self-Assessment Sheet

Ready to evaluate how effectively your site integrates human factors into safety-critical operations? This rapid assessment tool helps you identify strengths, gaps, and improvement opportunities in your Systematic Critical Task Analysis (SCTA) programme – giving you a clear roadmap for enhancing safety performance.

What you will learn

This practical self-assessment sheet enables you to quickly evaluate your SCTA programme across 10 critical dimensions.
 
You’ll gain insights into:
 
  • How well your site integrates human factors into Major Accident Hazard (MAH) risk assessments
  • The effectiveness of your approach to identifying and prioritising critical tasks for proactive analysis
  • Whether your Hierarchical Task Analysis follows industry best practices for structure and clarity
  • How successfully you bridge the gap between work-as-imagined and work-as-done
  • The quality of your SCTA workshops, including expert involvement and on-site task walkthroughs
  • Your capability to identify critical task steps and analyse multiple failure modes systematically
  • How specifically you analyse Performance Influencing Factors (PIFs) beyond generic descriptions
  • Whether your recommendations effectively address identified failures through the Hierarchy of Controls 
The assessment provides immediate scoring guidance to help you understand where you stand – from early-stage development (0-25) to optimised practice (76-100). Each score range comes with tailored advice for next steps, whether you need foundational support or fine-tuning of existing practices.
 
Use this healthcheck to benchmark your current capabilities, identify priority improvement areas, and build the business case for advancing your human factors programme. It’s the perfect starting point for developing a more systematic, evidence-based approach to managing human performance in safety-critical tasks.
