Human factors

Senior managers are often least confident about making decisions in areas where human factors are a major consideration.
 
CAS helps clients identify the human factors affecting operational performance and develop a coherent approach to tackling these. 
 
Our work in this area encompasses:
  • Developing human factors policies and strategies which support safe and efficient operations.
  • Analysis of human factors requirements of new systems.
  • Integrating human factors requirements in system design, development and implementation.
  • Cognitive skills training.
  • Selection of safety critical staff.
  • Attitude tests for new entrants to safety critical work environments.

We offer a number of tools specifically designed to assess the adequacy of current arrangements for managing the risks associated with issues such as fatigue, recruitment and selection, team and job design.
