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...
Early Human Factors Analysis (EHFA)
The purpose of integrating human factors (HF) analysis during the early stages in a project is to assist in ensuring the assets associated with the project support efficient and effective operations and maintenance, meet required safety and performance levels, and deliver expected benefits to users during operation and maintenance activities. ...
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,...
