Breeze National said that because of the age of the building, no structural drawings were available to reveal the "unknown and latent condition buried in the concrete casing".
Undetected error in safety critical contexts generates a latent condition that can contribute to a future safety failure.
Our case study illustrates the advantages of models that distinguish between an underlying latent condition and its measurements, and of a continuing dialogue between the modeller and the domain experts as the model is developed using knowledge as well as data.
The latent condition is defined by the diagnostic tests (observers), and so if they do not cover "different" aspects of the condition, then the latent condition becomes what they can agree on.
In renal complication of PBC, distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) has been reported with the prevalence rates of 30 to 60%% generally in asymptomatic or latent condition [ 5, 6].
In other words, if the effect to belong to a latent condition of sepsis would be removed, the effects to the CRP, PCT and DD would have a completely random distribution in the study population.
Such errors can typically be traced back to latent conditions, or 'pathogens', that tend to reside in a system until they become actual failures – often as a result of some distinct incubation process.
In addition, Lean improvement methods require organizational and environmental alignment with the front-line change in order to improve the latent conditions affecting components such as regulation, education, and safety culture.
According to a modified Kost model, which takes into account all steps of the testing process and latent conditions for error, POCT reduces errors and the risk of error in only a few steps of the testing process.
In conclusion, this paper demonstrates that the proposed 7-stage protocol developed to this end can explicitly and proactively indicate safety risks, and find the controlling latent conditions causing the trouble.
As a next step ineffective supervising and managerial control processes and their underlying latent conditions, causing the persistence of these precursors, are identified and it was shown how these cause safety barriers to become ineffective and to open the way to accidents.
