| Abstract |
Aimed at managers with health and safety responsibilities, health and safety professionals and employee safety representatives. Human factors is a broad field and organisations in the past have viewed it in the past as being too complex or difficult to do anything about. This guidance aims to overcome such fears by providing practical help on how to tackle some of the important issues. The guidance a) explains how human error and behaviour can impact on health and safety. b) shows how human behaviour and other factors in the workplace can affect the physical and mental health of workers. c) provides practical ideas on what you can do to identify, assess and control risks arising from the human factor and d) includes illustrative case studies to show how other organisations have tackled different human problems at work. Contents: What are human factors? Understanding human failure; Designing for people; Managing the influences on human performance; Getting started; Case studies: solutions to human factors problems. |
