Human error research in industrial high‐risk socio‐technical systems has a long tradition, but is relatively new to medical settings where it started to become more important just two decades ago.

In light of these alarming figures, the present research aims to identify sources and causes for human error in the medical sector. The conceptual framework of the present study is based on Gordon Dupont's Dirty Dozen Model which includes twelve error categories for human error in aviation, covering organisational and social aspects but also considers individual factors which can provoke human errors. For the current study, 18 qualitative interviews based on the Critical Incident Technique were conducted with medical doctors, medical‐technical assistants and nursing staff. The interviewees had to retrospectively describe specific events which led to critical incidents or situations. Based on the Dirty Dozen Model the interviews were analysed with regard to the mentioned causes that provoked errors.
