Analysis of the distribution of leak causes shows that there is a significant proportion of leaks that can be attributed to "human error". This term covers
non-compliance with procedures (e.g. failure to follow a hose assembly procedure);
inadequate procedures that do not effectively prevent the incident due to poor risk assessment (e.g. insufficient air line sweeping before a restart phase);
