Description
This unit involves the skills and knowledge required to manage 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. It also includes identifying methods of creating work environments that support human performances.This unit is intended for people who manage rail safety workers, to assist them in applying human factors principles to the management of safety critical tasks and the work environment to improve 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.
