Understanding and Applying Human Factors to Control Systems
Course Description The design of control systems in process and manufacturing
plants directly impacts the likelihood of human errors by operators. Human error
is much more likely than equipment failure. Consequently, the development of an
optimized interface between the processes and equipment being controlled and the
operators is vital for ensuring safety and operability to avoid adverse impacts
on people, the process, or the company. The are various important aspects of the
control system including equipment design, control room design, the human /
computer interface, operating procedures and the documentation used, and
operator competence. These topics are addressed in the course. People
control processes by interacting with process equipment. Process equipment
includes displays, alarms, controls, computers, manual equipment and personal
protective equipment. Human factors issues for process equipment relate to how
people interact with and use equipment and the characteristics of the equipment
that may increase the likelihood of human failures when it is used by people.
This entails studying the match between the attributes of people and those of
equipment that are involved in the interactions. Control rooms
must be organized so that control room personnel are provided with an
appropriate working environment. The likelihood of human errors in the control
room and the likelihood that control room personnel will be exposed to ergonomic
hazards can be reduced by effective human factors control room design. The
human / computer interface (HCI) deals with how people interact with computer
systems with the objective of ensuring computer system designs are functional,
easily operable, efficient, and safe. Many plants today utilize computer systems
such as DCS's, SCADA systems and PLC's to control plant processes. Human
failures in interacting with control systems can result in loss of control and
serious incidents. Various human factors issues are important
in developing procedures. Also, a variety of documentation is used including
manuals, guidelines, checklists, data sheets, logs, records, work orders, etc.
Documentation design can have a major impacts on process safety and operability.
Procedures that are not followed, guidelines that are not used, diagrams that
are misleading, and records that are not completed properly can all increase the
likelihood of accidents. The ability of personnel to perform
tasks according to expectations, or the competence of personnel, is crucial to
every organization because of the role it plays in ensuring tasks are carried
out satisfactorily and safely. Often assumptions of competence are made based on
the adequacy of experience or training, possession of qualifications, or the
availability of a procedure. However, such assumptions may be incorrect and
should not be made. Competence should be managed, otherwise poor performance and
accidents may result. The course identifies and describes
tools available to address these important issues and provides experience in
their use.
Objective
Provide instruction on how to design and improve the
interface between operators and control systems in process and manufacturing
plants to improve operability and safety.
Target Audience
Personnel with responsibility for safe and reliable plant
operations.
Prerequisite
Knowledge of plant operations.
