Human factors and ergonomics
People are involved in all aspects of work, which is why HSE recognises the importance that human factors can play in helping avoid accidents and ill-health at work.
Key topics
We have taken a topic-focused approach to human factors. These topics have proven to be key issues based on research, consultation with industry & intermediaries, and our inspection experience.
New Human Factors Delivery Guide
The Competent Authority (CA) has launched a new Delivery Guide for inspecting human factors at COMAH sites. The new framework clarifies key topics, introduces success criteria and brings scoring of visits for the first time.
