DESCRIPTION:
The second part presents four case studies that show the reader how the above framework and guidelines work in practice. This book will be an essential guide for anyone who uses HF in their everyday work, providing them with consistent and ready-to-use procedures and methods that can be applied to real-life problems. The case studies are based on real-life projects carried out by the author for a major European railway system, and in collaboration with international companies such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation, Volvo, Daimler-Chrysler and FIAT.. The first part of the book looks at the theoretical framework, methods and techniques that the engineer or safety analyst needs to use when working on a HF-related project. Human error plays a significant role in many accidents involving safety-critical systems, and it is now a standard requirement in both the US and Europe for Human Factors (HF) to be taken into account in system design and safety assessment
Elijah Chingosho said A Practical guide to Improving Safety. The book is a useful and handy guide to applying human factor methods to reduce accidents in safety critical systems. Human error is the major cause of accidents in safety critical safety industries like aviation, nuclear power and chemical. Accidents are often the end result of a myriad of latent and active failures, only
