Building Human Factors into Design from Day One: Human Factors Engineering in Projects
Engineering design and human factors don’t always happen together. Too often, the design is finalised first, and human factors is brought in afterwards. At that point, any mismatch between what was designed and what the operator actually needs only shows up once the plant is running. That gap is what we call the “cliff edge.”
Introduction To Link Analysis Using SHERPA
Link Analysis is a simple yet powerful tool that visualises workflows, uncovers critical interactions, and enhances design.
The Psychology Behind Alarm Response: Insights from Human Factors
Alarm systems are vital to process control, but poorly designed alarms can compromise operator performance. We explore the complexities of alarm management and highlights how human factors can optimise control system design.
Human factors in Process Design course
We recently developed and delivered a new course to raise awareness of Human Factors in Process Design, i.e. Topic 2 of the Human Factors COMAH Delivery Guide. It was a one-day course, delivered virtually over two half days that followed our blended approach to online learning.
