Description
In distinction to ergonomics, "Human Factors Methods for Improving Performance in the Process Industries" deals with designing manufacturing processes so that humans don't take the wrong action and cause a catastrophic injury. This book contains examples, anecdotes, visual aids and references for 40 different human factors topics relating to process safety, along with tools / applications chapters with anecdotes and visual aids. It provides specific information to help managers to implement an efficient human factors program and engineers to address OSHA requirements.
