On Crafting Effective and Safe Procedures
In safety-critical industries, having a procedure isn’t enough—it needs to be both accurate and user-friendly. A well-crafted procedure can enhance safety, reduce risks, and streamline operations, but only if it’s easy to follow and understand.
Failure Modes and Mechanisms in Safety Critical Task Analysis (SCTA)
In the realm of safety critical tasks industries, identifying both failure modes and mechanisms is essential for effective risk management and performance improvement. We dive into this crucial topic, exploring how failure modes and failure mechanisms impact human performance.
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.
SCTA Workflow: Where the rubber hits the Human Factors Roadmap
Following her last blog, Lydea shows how the SCTA process can be used as a way to implement the HF Roadmap in practice
