People are the most important part of any business, and they play a vital role in the function of safety critical systems. That’s why HF Integration promotes a human-centred approach to the design of complex systems. We help major companies in the resources, energy and transport sectors to understand end user requirements, and make sure their equipment and systems are safe and easy to use, are tolerant of human error, and meet relevant human factors standards.
The design of control rooms, human machine interfaces and alarms require careful application of human factors and ergonomics to ensure they are intuitive and safe to use. Failure to consider human factors in system design results in the disengagement of the workforce, lost situational awareness, unsustainable workload, miscommunication, difficult to use interfaces, poor decisions, and unexpected human failures. That’s why we work with leading technology companies to apply a human-centred approach to the design of these complex systems, and it’s also why we’re proud members of ACRNA.
