Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to recognise the impact of human capabilities and limitations on human performance in a rail environment.It includes describing human error and error management and identifying factors that impact on human performance.This unit involves the skills and knowledge required when applying human factors principles to safety critical roles. This unit is intended for rail workers who are performing safety critical activities as part of their job role and for whom an awareness of human factors can lead to improvements in safety and performance.For this unit human factors is defined as the scientific discipline that is concerned with the application of information about human characteristics, capacities, and limitations to the design of tasks, equipment and work environments.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
