Human Factors are often identified as the cause of failures and hazards in safety-related systems; yet systems safety arguments often contain no mention of them. Conversely, systems operators often provide substantial mitigations for technical failures and systems hazards; yet this is also often overlooked. If human factors risks are not considered a system will not achieve the required level of safety integrity. If human factors mitigations are not considered, system technical components may be over engineered at unnecessary cost to achieve a given target level of safety.
This Human Factors for Safety (HFS) course will introduce programme managers, systems engineers and systems operators to practical human factors concepts, methods, tools and techniques that can be used to assess and design safer socio-technical systems required to operate in safety-related environments. At the end of the course, participants will have a better understanding of how to achieve safer human factors designs and how to plan for human factors integration within a typical safety-related systems development programme.
Using a mixture of presentations and practical exercises, this course aims to provide the knowledge and practical experience to enable participants to assess and develop safety-related systems to satisfy the human factors requirements specified in universal safety standards such as MIL-STD 882, IEC-61508 and UK Defence Standard 00-56.
