Human Factors Handbook for Process Plant Operations Provides clear
and simple instructions for integrating Human Factors principles
and practices in the design of processes and work tasks Human
Factors, the science of interaction between humans and other
elements of a system, draws from disciplines such as psychology,
ergonomics, anthropometrics, and physiology to understand how and
why people behave and perform as they do--and how best to support
them in performing tasks. The goals of the Human Factors approach
are to improve human reliability, minimize the risk from human
error, and optimize the working environment, human wellbeing, and
overall system performance. Human Factors Handbook for Process
Plant Operations guides supervisors, managers, and engineers on
incorporating Human Factors principles and practices into plant
maintenance and operations. With thorough and accessible coverage
of all Human Factors topics of relevance to process industries,
this easy-to-use handbook uses real-world anecdotes and case
studies to demonstrate effective training and learning, task
planning, communications, emergency response, risk and error
management, and more. Throughout the text, the authors offer
valuable insights into why people make mistakes while providing
advice on how to help workers perform their process operational
tasks successfully. Explains all essential Human Factors concepts
and knowledge with clear descriptions and illustrative examples
Offers actionable advice and models of good practice that can be
applied to design, process operations, start-ups and shut-downs,
and maintenance Addresses job aids, equipment design, competence,
task support, non-technical skills, working with contractors, and
managing change Discusses how lack of Human Factors considerations
during the engineering design phase can adversely affect safety and
performance Describes how to use indicators to both recognize and
learn from human error and performance issues Written by highly
experienced operating and maintenance personnel, Human Factors
Handbook for Process Plant Operations is an indispensable resource
for everyone involved with defining, planning, training, and
managing process operations, maintenance, and emergency response in
the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, petroleum, and refining
industries. The missions of both the CCPS and EI include developing
and disseminating knowledge, skills and good practices to protect
people, the environment, and property by bringing the best
knowledge and practices to industry, academia, governments and the
public around the world through collective wisdom, tools, training
and expertise. The CCPS, an industrial technology alliance of the
American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), has been at the
forefront of documenting and sharing important process safety risk
assessment methodologies for more than 35 years and has published
over 100 books in its process safety guidelines and process safety
concept book series. The EI's Technical Work Program addresses the
depth and breadth of the energy sector from fuels and fuels
distribution to health and safety, sustainability and the
environment. The EI program provides cost-effective, value-adding
knowledge on key current and future international issues affecting
those in the energy sector.
