What is a latent failure?
- A mistake that has already been made, but has not yet caused an accident.
- Receiving poor instruction from a manager out of touch with maintenance.
- A failure in a component that could not have been predicted or anticipated.
Explanation
A latent failure is a dormant weakness or error already present in the system, such as a flawed procedure or earlier mistake, that lies hidden until conditions allow it to combine with other factors and contribute to an accident. It contrasts with an active failure, whose effect is felt immediately, and is not an unpredictable component fault.
