Human Factors Engineering (HFE) in the Water Industry
Coretex Consulting is supporting various projects and the Water Corporation to include Human Factors Engineering (HFE) within desalination projects and the Water Industry more broadly. These include Exmouth, Perth and Southern desalination plants and the Alkimos trunk main project. We specialise in applying HFE within the Water Industry and are...
The Application and Effectiveness of Human Factors Engineering in the Processing Industry
In complex process environments—refineries, chemical plants, water treatment facilities, and mineral-processing operations—the smallest human error can cascade into major safety, environmental, and financial consequences. Human Factors Engineering (HFE) provides a structured way to understand and mitigate these risks by designing systems that recognise the realities of human capability and limitation....
Companies unsure about human factors engineering (HFE) or using a human factors consultant- common questions.
Some questions which may get asked: How will this service add value to project? In short for a relatively insignificant CAPEX investment can create safety and performance improvements over the life of the Operations. High Reliability Organisations (HROs) aim to optimise the design for long term benefits. NASA has a...
Human Factors Integration
‘Human Factors’ is the discipline that applies knowledge of human capabilities and limitations to the design, operation and maintenance of technological systems. It draws from established disciplines such as psychology, ergonomics, physiology and engineering. By applying human factors knowledge about people at work to the functional relationships between people, tasks,...
Change Management and End-User Consultation
End-user consultation is vital during change management when implementing design or process changes in safety critical work environments. Discussions with field crews indicated that design, construction and process changes are frequently implemented without adequate consultation with field crews to confirm understanding and compatibility with other operational requirements. Further, suggestions from...
Human Factors Integration within DMIRS
The Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) are conducting human factors assessments to establish an industry baseline. These assessments aim to obtain an accurate picture of the current state of human factors integration into safety management systems. DMIRS will then use this information to determine what resources and...
Human Performance Strategies
1 HSE/Human Performance Strategies This section describes strategies to improve human performance and HSE in complex, high risk workplaces. It stems from three focus areas commonly used in the human factors literature and NOPSEMA [Ref 2]. These include: Organisation;Job/Work Environment; andIndividual. It is recognised that these are broad focus areas...
User Centred Design
Human-centred design is an approach to interactive systems development that aims to make systems usableand useful by focusing on the users, their needs and requirements, and by applying human factors / ergonomics, and usability knowledge and techniques. This approach enhances effectiveness and efficiency, improves human well-being, user satisfaction, accessibility and...
Ergonomics and Green Star Certification
Green Star is Australia's trusted mark of quality for the design, construction and operation of sustainable buildings, fit-outs and communities. From an ergonomic perspective it ensures the design or selection of work settings, equipment and furniture is shown to address the ergonomic needs of the user specific to that work...
