This study conducts a human reliability analysis to develop a pre-exercise screening tool for helicopter underwater escape training (HUET) to proactively improve training facilities and to contribute attendees' performance. In this context, a modified human error assessment and reduction technique (HEART) was adapted. The technique investigates error producing conditions (EPC) and general task type (GTT) variables considering attendees profile, training infrastructure conditions, and 16 sub-steps of HUET exercises. Since the identification of EPC and GTT is still a key limitation of traditional HEART, this study extends a basic rule-based mechanism based on if-then-else comparison matrix structure to enhance accuracy in practice. The case study underscores the feasibility of individual, provider, and procedural interventions, enhancing training success and practical application of skills in real incidents. The application of a rule-based selection algorithm for GTT determination enhances objectivity, contributing to a more controlled identification and minimisation of errors. The case study, tailored specifically for practical training, delineates the feasibility of individual-based, training provider-based, and procedural-based interventions. Additionally, mitigating factors like 'emotional stress' and 'unfamiliarity' through advanced safety measures can boost attendees' self-confidence, leading to improved training success and practical skill application in real-world scenarios.
