Human Factors
Human Factors is an important element in the design of effective and safe systems. Early integration of Human Factors in the design and system life cycle promotes solutions that take account of human capabilities and limitations. The benefits include:
- optimised performance
- reduced error rates
- enhanced usability
- improved in-service performance
- reduced whole-life costs
