Intentional error, which happens when operational actions are conducted wrongly with awareness of the consequences. In some cases procedural steps are not followed or systems are intentionally shut down or put in unsafe conditions. For example, in preventive incident actions, intentional error occurs when an operator does not follow safety procedures to reestablish the system faster. Equipment degradation would occur when intentional incorrect action is performed during repairs. For example, a maintenance professional intentionally using a tool on a piece of equipment to damage it.
