Objective:
The research aims to identify human error committed by traditional divers while fishing, and to determine the relationship between human error as a cause of occupational accidents at sea.
Method:
A cross-sectional study with total of 186 traditional divers participated. The data was collected by questionnaires, and analyzing with chi-square test (p-value=0.05).
Results:
More than 83% of respondents had experienced occupational accident and behave human error while diving (81%). Type of human error such as rush of work, never attend safety training and does not have diving certificate, dives more than 30min, continues to work even tired, dives more than once a day, and continues to dive despite bad weather. The types of occupational accidents were slips, scratches, shipwrecks, hit by rocks, and suffered open wounds. The statistical test p value=0.000 (<0.05) and OR=44.883.
Conclusions:
There is a relationship between human errors and occupational accident.

Types of Errors: Detection and Minimization
Absolute error in a measurement is the numerical difference from the true or central value. Relative error is the ratio between absolute error and the true or central value, expressed as a percentage.
Errors can be classified by source, magnitude, and sign. There are three types of errors: systematic, random, and gross.

Systematic Error: Methodological and Sampling Errors
Sampling errors originate from improper sampling methods or the wrong sample population. These errors can be minimized by refining the sampling strategy. Defective instruments or faulty calibrations are the sources of instrumental...
