A California corporation since 1993, Error Analysis is a forensic and industry practice of Human Factors and related safety disciplines. The consultancy provides professional services including expertise and advanced analysis and investigation of accident causation and liability. EAI has a track record of performance over 30 years. The company has served legal, insurance, corporate, and public clients since its founding. EAI is the successor company of Cohen and Associates, a sole proprietorship formed in 1988 with a similar focus by H. Harvey Cohen, PhD, CPE. Cohen and Associates followed Safety Sciences, Inc., formed in 1977, which obtained and conducted government and industry funded research studies totaling over $10 million under Dr. Harvey Cohen’s co-ownership. The company followed Harvey Cohen’s early-career service as a federal Research Scientist (NIOSH) and Post-Doctoral Research Fellow and Graduate Research Fellow (NASA).   

Our Mission is to bring understanding, meaning, and safety through design and Human Factors analysis of accident causation and liability.
