"Very informative and eye opening.
Leaves you waiting to know more (about Human Factors)."

Course Description
Government regulations and industry recommended
practices are focusing attention in the process industries on human
factors. OSHA's PSM standard, EPA's RMP rule and API's recommended
practice for Safety Environmental Management Programs (SEMP), RP75, all
address this topic. Human error as a cause of hazard scenarios must be
identified and the factors that influence human errors must be considered.
This latter topic falls within the field of human factors engineering. It
deals with the person-process interface and how it influences the
performance of people.
People are key components of processes. They are
involved in process design, operation, maintenance, etc. No step in the
process life cycle is without some human involvement. Based on human
nature, human error is a given and will arise in all parts of the process
life cycle. Also, processes are generally not well-protected from human
errors since many safeguards are focused on equipment failure.
Consequently, it is likely that human error will be an important
contributor to risk for most processes. This is evidenced by the number of
major accidents that have been attributed to this cause. Therefore, it is
vital that the factors influencing the likelihood of errors be identified
and assessed to determine if improvements in the human factors design of
the process are needed and possible.
Usually, in process safety management the topic of
human factors is addressed during the performance of a process hazard
analysis. However, PHA team members often have no background in human
factors and are challenged by the assignment. This course is intended to
provide process safety personnel with a better understanding and
appreciation for the types of human factors issues that can impact on
process safety so that improvements can be recommended.
This course explains what is meant by human factors in
the context of process safety. Regulatory requirements are discussed and
clarifications provided. Explanations are provided and examples are given
for the various aspects of human factors involved in the interaction of
people with processes so that attendees will be better able to identify
such issues in their own processes in the future. Attendees are taught how
to perform an assessment of the current human factors design of their
processes. The importance and availability of design standards for human
factors is also covered.
A detailed manual is provided for use as a reference
after you have completed the course.
Objective
To understand how improving the
human factors design of a process can produce not only improvements in
safety and health but also gains in quality, productivity and employee job
satisfaction.
Target Audience
This course is intended for
process safety personnel, human factors engineers and others who need to
understand the subject of human factors as it applies to process safety
and be able to identify human factors issues in processes.
