| Synopsis: |
Human Factors is an important and influential area of study that encapsulates many different topics, ranging from basic ergonomics and product design to aspects of human performance and teamwork, particularly in workplace settings. Human Factors: An Introduction is a primer textbook, designed to provide a basic introduction to the science of human factors. It is ideal for undergraduate students or other introductory teaching at MSc level or for professionals taking short courses in human factors. The book succinctly defines and explains the main elements of human factors science and places them in applied real-world settings (eg healthcare, oil, nuclear, etc). Human Factors: An Introduction is based on a robust scientific foundation but its style is accessible, informative and enjoyable - the perfect entry-point for beginning to understand human factors. Key topics covered include product and workplace design, non-technical skills, workplace environment, human performance, organizational culture, management of human factors, and human factors measurement.Each of these areas is described using the most up-to-date and relevant research studies and enhanced, where appropriate, by case studies and activities. The use of case studies allows students to see the application of theory in real-world settings and illuminate the real costs of human error within organizations. The book concludes with an interactive 'workshop' chapter, bringing together the themes contained within the rest of the text and featuring a question and answer section, guided assessment of case studies, the utilisation of human factors tools in the real world and guidance on job roles utilising human factors in applied settings. The workshop chapter is also linked to a website and associated podcasts. |
