SECTION II: INTRODUCTION TO THE COURSE

Course Objectives & Content

Course Objectives:

Focus on optimising human performance through better understanding of the behaviour of individuals, their interactions with each other and with their environment. By acknowledging human limitations, Human Factors offers ways to minimise and mitigate human error and its consequences.

Course Content:

Introduction & Introduction of course materials Lecture, Exemplification, Discussion
Human Factors, Need for Consideration of Human Factors
Cases attributable to Human Factors, Murphy's Law
Human Performance and Limitations; Sight, Hearing, data processing, attention and perception, memory, indoor phobia and physical access
Social psychology; responsibility, motivation and loss of motivation, age pressure, cultural problems, team work, management surveillance and leadership
Factors effecting performance; vitality and health, Stress: stress based on family and profession, time pressure and pressures resulting from the duration of work
Work load: Low attribution and high attribution, sleep and over fatigue, working in shifts, alcohol, use of medicine and drug
Physical environment; noise and smoke, illumination, climate and temperature, movement and vibration, work environment
Duties; physical work, repeated duties
Communication; Intra-Team and Inter-Team Communication
Human Fault; Fault Models and Theories, Consequences arising from Faults, Avoidance and Management Faults
Hazards in the workplace; realizing the hazards and avoiding from them, overcoming the emergency situations
