Whether used for aviation, manufacturing, oil and gas
extraction, energy distribution, nuclear or fossil fuel power
generation, surveillance or security, all control rooms share two
common features. The people operating them are often remote from
the processes that they are monitoring and controlling and the
operations work 24/7. The twin demands of remote and continuous
operation place special considerations on the design of central
control rooms. Human Factors in the Design and Evaluation of
Central Control Room Operations provides an analysis of Human
Factors and Ergonomics in this complex area and the implications
for control room staff. This information contained within this book
can then be used to design, assessed and evaluate control
rooms.
Taking an integrated approach to Human Factors and Ergonomics in
the control room environment, the book presents fourteen human
factors topics: competencies, training, procedures, communications,
workload, automation, supervision, shift patterns, control room
layout, SCADA interfaces, alarms, control room environment, human
error, and safety culture. Although there are many resources
available on each of these topics, this book the information
together under one cover with a focus on central control room
operations. Each chapter is self-contained and can be read in any
order, as the information is required.
