Omission error, which happens when one action is not performed because of lapse or misperception. For example, in preventive incident actions, omission error is the misperception of an alarm (and consequently not performing the actions required). In maintenance, omission error is when equipment fails as soon as corrective maintenance is conducted because of lapse, which means certain steps of corrective maintenance procedures were not performed.
(Calixto, 2016, p. 474)
