Simultaneous Multitasking

  • Summary

  • The article, written by safety expert Charly Wigstrom Broncheur, explores the dangers of simultaneous multitasking (AMS) in high-risk industrial settings. It argues that AMS can lead to reduced attention, increased errors, and even accidents because the human brain is not designed for efficiently performing multiple complex tasks at once. The article then explores the evidence supporting these claims through case studies from the chemical and aviation industries, and finally proposes solutions to mitigate the negative impact of AMS. These solutions include implementing standardized procedures, training workers in time management techniques, and using technology to automate certain tasks.
