Human Factors
Human factors is a multidisciplinary field incorporating contributions from psychology, engineering, biomechanics, mechanobiology, industrial design, graphic design, statistics, operations research and anthropometry.
Human factor assessment is a key area in identifying potential hazards which may be instigated by human errors. Our Human Factors experts are able to conduct relevant studies in identifying the potential hazards and probabilities of error and thus provide recommendations and guidance in reducing the probability of human errors.
