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 design and development
- Selection of safety critical staff
- Design, development and validation of aptitude and attitude tests
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.
Articles and conference papers by our directors and staff provide further insights to the thinking and experience CAS can offer in this area.
