We understand that the human element of a system can be seen as a limitation, but it is also important to recognise the advantages of human factors integration in maximising the capability of a system.
By studying human performance and how humans help make things goes right in safety critical applications, we can design systems and work tasks that maximise the potential of systems.
Through considering the capabilities and limitations of human during design and operation of systems, we can reduce risk by minimising human and organisational errors and enhancing human performance.
- Human Error Probability (HEP) assessment using techniques such as Human error assessment and reduction technique (HEART) and technique for human error-rate prediction (THERP).
- Conducting Hierarchical Task Analyses (HTA) and Human Error Identification (HEI). Facilitating remedy workshops to introduce changes to task design.
- Gathering detailed analysis data from trial programmes via observations structured around task swim-lanes, interviews, Learning From Experience workshops and manning studies.
- Conducting safety culture audits of organisations to support continual improvement. Methods utilised include document reviews, questionnaires, interviews, observations and focus groups.
- Development of performance indicators and dashboards to help inform and focus improvement action.
- Organisational Baseline development to ensure delivery of high performing safety organisations against the Nuclear Industry Code of Practice.
- Development of training and competence requirements, job specifications and guidance to enable clear delegation of responsibilities.
- Analysis of Performance Shaping Factors to form an argument for the suitability of a task. Covering aspects including: Individual’s characteristics; Task characteristics ; Environmental conditions; Organisational factors.
- Authoring of substantiation reports detailing claims, arguments and evidence on the acceptability of work organisation and job design.
