If the
system features are labeled using technical or technological terms, the
operators are liable to misinterpret their
meaning.
Example: The
Torrey Canyon accident involved a
slip in changing the steering lever to disconnect the rudder from the wheel. The name of the unintentional
mode was "Control".
Use terms in the language of the
operators, so that they understand your concepts and follow your procedures
