The '''Human Factors Analysis and Classification System''' (HFACS) identifies the human causes of an accident and offers tools for analysis as a way to plan preventive training.<ref name="Approach_2004">[https://archive.today/20040803144310/http://www.safetycenter.navy.mil/MEDIA/approach/issues/julaug04/HumanFactors.htm "The Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS),"]''Approach'', July - August 2004. Accessed July 12, 2007. </ref> It was developed by Dr. Scott Shappell of the [[Civil Aviation Medical Institute]] and Dr. Doug Wiegmann of the [[University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign|University of Illinois]] at Urbana-Campaign in response to a trend that showed some form of human error was a primary causal factor in 80% of all flight accidents in the Navy and Marine Corps.<ref name="Approach_2004"/> <br />
<br />
HFACS is based in the "[[Swiss cheese model]]" of [[human error]]<ref>Reason, J. [1990] ''Human Error''. Cambridge University Press</ref> which looks at four levels of human failure, including unsafe acts, preconditions for unsafe acts, unsafe supervision, and organizational influences.<ref name="Approach_2004"/> It is a comprehensive human error framework that folded [[James Reason]]'s ideas into the applied setting, defining 19 causal categories within four levels of human failure.<ref>HFACS Analysis of Military and Civilian Aviation Accidents: A North American Comparison.
