Guideline summary

Terminology

Risk  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".

Guideline  Use terms in the language of the operators, so that they understand your concepts and follow your procedures
