Human factors design (or people-centered design), specifically, focuses on improving areas within a product or design where interaction happens. Examples include when you use a touchscreen smartphone and when you perform tasks on your desktop computer.

The researchers found that the productivity of the more highly illuminated workers increased much more than that of the control group. They also found out that their productivity even improved when the lights were dimmed again.

Four Kinds of ‘Human Factors’: 2. Factors of Humans – Humanistic Systems.

The overall goal of Aviation Maintenance human factors research is to identify and optimize the factors that affect human performance in maintenance and inspection. Research attention to personnel includes: Qualification. Training.

Complacency is identified as one of the “Dirty Dozen” of aircraft maintenance human factors. The Dirty Dozen are 12 identified human factors that lead to maintenance errors. Complacency is at the top of this list and is the deadliest of the 12. This is demonstrated by the tragic Aloha Flight 243 on April 28, 1988.

These are the 12 most common causes of error within aviation maintenance: Lack of communication, complacency, lack of knowledge, distraction, lack of teamwork, fatigue, lack of resources, pressure, lack of assertiveness, stress, lack of awareness, norms.

The List

Gordon DuPont while working with Transport Canada developed the “The Dirty Dozen” The Dirty Dozen is a poster series highlighting 12 preconditions for unsafe acts. These twelve preconditions are not a comprehensive list.

1. Dirty Dozen. Avoid the.
2. www.FAASafety.gov. Team.
3. YOUR SOURCE FOR AVIATION SAFETY. Common Causes.
4. Put Safety First and Minimize.
5. Put Safety First and Minimize.
6. Failure to transmit, receive, or provide enough information to complete a task.
7. •
8. Overconfidence from repeated experience performing a task.

The dirty dozen are listed below:

• Lack of communication.
• Distraction.
• Lack of resources.
• Stress.
• Complacency.
• Lack of teamwork.
• Pressure.
• Lack of awareness.

These were a group of 12 highly persistent and toxic chemicals: aldrin, chlordane, DDT, dieldrin, endrin, heptachlor, hexachlorobenzen, mirex, polychlorinated biphenyls, polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dibenzofurans, and toxaphen.

For example, the “Filthy Fifteen” posters are HPA’s expansion of the “Dirty Dozen” list, and are applicable to the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) industry. These tools are HPA’s original creations or modifications, and are integrated into its human factors program.

INTRODUCTION. Human factors issues, specifically human errors, contribute to more aircraft incidents and accidents than any other single factor. Human errors include errors by the flight crew, maintenance personnel, air traffic controllers, and others who have a direct impact on flight safety.

For this reason, safety in aviation is highly related to risk management. ICAO defines safety as “the state in which the possibility of harm to persons or of property damage, is reduced to and maintained at or below an acceptable level, through a continuous process of hazard identification and safety risk management.”

Human Error. The most common cause of aviation accidents is human error, usually by the pilot (53% of all accidents) or other person (8% of all accidents.)

The Five Human Factors method is about studying the physical, cognitive, social, cultural and emotional factors that make up a complete customer experience.
