Using SCTA to create a generic audit tool for a critical task

This paper was describes how to use SCTA to create a HF GATEWAY (Generic Audit Tool Exercise to Widen and Accelerate Yield). It was presented at Hazards 33, 7-9 November 2023, Birmingham, UK.

What you will learn

The Human Factors GATEWAY approach is introduced to extend and expedite the application of HF learnings from a single Safety Critical Task Analysis (SCTA) to similar tasks. This approach uses a generic audit tool, enabling non-HF specialists to apply insights from SCTAs broadly and rapidly, thereby enhancing task safety and performance.
