There is increasing emphasis on the importance of managing human factors to achieve improved safety in process industries.
This is a multidisciplinary science that focuses on:
- Interactions between humans and the work system
- Designing human–machine interactions that optimise human and system performance
Human factors engineering (HFE) is about making it easy for people to do things right and difficult for them to do things wrong.
Major accidents have highlighted the importance of addressing this aspect of performance, e.g. wrong operator response, slow response and incorrect diagnosis.
Who Should Attend
- Managers, engineers, operators, safety advisors and risk management practitioners
What You Will Learn
- Aims and benefits of HFE
- HFE and behavioural-based safety (BBS)
- HFE and process safety
- Conceptual model
