Human Factors in Safety and Reliability

Human Factors Working Group provides a focal point for human factor-related issues associated with all aspects of safety and reliability in engineering within the Institution. 

• Human Factors explained

We seek to improve human performance in engineering through collation of knowledge and best practice on human factor-related issues, and promotion of human factors in engineering through seminars or events.

Who we are

The main SRG Board is supported by four working groups:

• WG1: Reliability in Engineering
• WG2: Engineering for Safety
• WG3: Standards and Procedures
• WG4: Human Factors in Safety and Reliability

What we do

• Provide a ‘portal’ to other human factors organisations
• Organise and run human factors events
• Identify the existing human factors knowledge centres
• Create a forum for the exchange of knowledge derived from the above.

Objectives

• Raise awareness of Human Factors in SRG and across the IMechE
• Establish and maintain a position paper for Human Factors for SRG
• Identify human factors ‘state of the art’ to advise engineers
• Offer human factors CPD suggestions and/or solutions for engineers
