| 31 Jul 2023 | Meta Analysis | 00:01:20 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! A meta-analysis is a statistical analysis that combines the results of multiple scientific studies. Meta-analysis can be performed when there are multiple scientific studies addressing the same question, with each individual study reporting measurements that are expected to have some degree of error. The aim is to use approaches from statistics to derive a pooled estimate closest to the unknown common truth based on how this error is perceived. Existing methods for meta-analysis yield a weighted average from the results of the individual studies, and what differs is the manner in which these weights are allocated and also the manner in which the uncertainty is computed . In addition to providing an estimate of the unknown common truth, meta-analysis can contrast results from different studies and identify patterns among study results, sources of disagreement among those results, or other interesting relationships that may come to light in the context of multiple studies.[ This has been another Human Factors Minute!

| 10 May 2024 | Chernobyl (Part 5) | 00:01:56 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Highly-trained and experienced operators can often compensate for a poor design; however, in the case of the Chernobyl disaster, the designers gave the operators too difficult a task.
The design was not at all forgiving of operator mistakes.
It may have been difficult for the operators to have compensated for design failures that they did not know about.
Not only were the plant operators unaware of key design weaknesses, the designers were unaware as well.
One example is the material used in the control rods. Control rods made of boron are lowered into the reactor core to slow the nuclear reaction. However, the tip of the control rods at Chernobyl were made of graphite, which temporarily increase the reaction as they enter the core.
The emergency AZ-5 button reinserts all of the control rods, which shuts down the reaction. When this button was pressed as a last resort, the large number of descending graphite tips led to a huge surge in reactor power.
Then, as parts of the system ruptured, the control rods were blocked from moving further down and so the graphite tips continued to accelerate the reaction, leading to the inevitable explosion.
The operators at Chernobyl were under the impression that the AZ-5 button was a fail-safe shut-down.
They were not aware of this design flaw. If they had understood, it may have influenced some of their decisions.
To this day, some major companies continue to blame control room operators, pilots, train drivers and offshore drillers, rather than explore design issues or leadership behaviours that set these staff up to fail.
The Chernobyl plant wasn’t just operated by humans, it was also designed by humans; and all humans can make mistakes.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Designing Products for Re-use | 00:01:43 | |
Many plastics are used for single-use disposable applications, such as packaging, agricultural films and disposable consumer items, and is the main source of waste plastics. Human factors plays a key role when considering the materials and design features of these plastics and can help manufacturers achieve functional yet reusable product designs. However, In many cases, reusable device manufacturers do not consider reprocessing until after the design is complete. One way in which Human Factors can impact these reusable products is through design considerations. The choice of material is crucial for a product to ensure it is reusable, reliable, and durable. Ensuring a device is reusable includes avoiding design decisions that create inaccessible areas or excessive wear by the user especially when considering devices that need to be cleaned and sterilized (like in the medical field). Ease of disassembly must also be considered when designing for reuse as users will be discouraged from recycling components and will simply trash the product instead. Ensuring that a product is well designed for recycling at the end of its lifecycle is also another critical factor for reducing waste. Recycling may not be intuitive, so using clear labeling and providing instructions that are clear and well defined should adequately assist the end user with recycling the product. This is just one of the many ways in which Human Factors can contribute to ensure minimal waste makes it to the ocean To donate to #teamseas or to find out more about the #teamseas campaign, visit teamseas.org Be sure to check out our main show at our official website: https://www.humanfactorscast.media Support us on these platforms to get access to the entire Human Factors Minute library:

| 31 Mar 2024 | Chernobyl (Part 4) | 00:02:04 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
In our previous Human Factors Minute on the Chernobyl disaster, we mentioned that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had released a report detailing their conclusions of the disaster.
The IAEA updated their conclusions in a 1993 report.
New information since the 1986 report led them to "shift the emphasis of its conclusions from the actions of the operating staff to faulty design of the reactor’s control rods and safety systems.
Deficiencies in the regulation and management of safety matters throughout the Soviet nuclear power industry have also been revealed and are discussed”.
The focus on human error in the early reports will mean that for many, human error and violation of operating procedures by staff will always be remembered as the main causes of this disaster.
However, safety culture is where this all started.
Both IAEA reports identified an inadequate "safety culture" at all managerial and operational levels as a major underlying factor of different aspects of the accident.
This was stated to be inherent not only in operations but also during design, engineering, construction, manufacture and regulation.
For example, during the incident Reactor 4 was started up to meet a deadline and some commissioning activities were not undertaken.
But even before the deadlines to commission the reactor, there were pressures at the early design stages – at a phase that is sometimes referred to as Concept Select – when the reactor design was chosen.
The choice of reactor type was influenced by construction time, given the country’s ambitious power generation targets.
Unfortunately the reactor chosen had several inherent design faults, and sadly, some of these faults were known.
With hindsight, there’s little doubt that people didn’t perform as expected – but understanding shared cultural attitudes towards safety also contributed to the disaster.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Climate Ergonomics | 00:01:13 | |
The Chartered Institute of Ergonomics and Human Factors have released a document Defining climate ergonomics Climate ergonomics is a scientific discipline that focuses on human interactions, and their effect on the macro-climate that they inhabit. Climate ergonomics applies theory, data, and methods to optimize both human and climate well-being and operates within three main areas: Cognitive, which boils down to What we think, how and what we perceive, how we act, the decisions we make, and how we feel regarding climate change. Organizational which includes Corporate social responsibility, brand image, organizational culture change and climate-conscious commercial practices. And lastly Physical components, so How we build, design, develop, and purchase in a more climate-conscious way.

| 20 Sep 2024 | Product Liability | 00:01:23 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
For almost a century, manufacturers have had the burden to provide products that are safe for the intended uses AND foreseeable misuses of their products. When product users are injured through the foreseeable use (or misuse) of a product, we analyze three phases of the product's development: the design, guards and warnings.
Manufacturers have the responsibility to eliminate known hazards, or to take reasonable steps to guard the user from being inadvertently exposed to the hazard. If the hazard cannot be feasibly eliminated or guarded, effective instructions and warnings are necessary to alert and inform the user about the hazard, how to avoid the hazard, and the consequences of not avoiding the hazard.
We can determine the likelihood that the defect existed when it left the manufacturer's hands, if the product was unreasonably altered, and if a defect was the proximate cause of an injury. Product liability often includes human factors analysis of the adequacy of instructions and warnings that accompanied the product.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Common Oversights in Sustainable Thinking | 00:01:42 | |
Addressing climate change, and sustainability efforts requires us to change our beliefs, assumptions, and thinking about the environment, our economies, and our well being. In order to change these, we must be aware of many common oversights when considering sustainable thinking. Most people look for evidence that confirms existing beliefs and tend to reject contradictory information, resulting in confirmation bias. When considering the future, it's easy to have misplaced confidence that the future will be similar to the past, which will make it difficult to identify mistakes and alter behavior when conditions change. Humans have a tendency to have wishful thinking, and believe that more favorable outcomes are more likely to happen than undesirable ones. Many choose to associate only with people who share their views, which often results in belief polarization, sometimes even to the effect of denying the existance of climate change. By directly addressing our biases and oversights when considering climate change and sustainability, we can begin to reflect on how we, as humans, are thinking about the problem space, and what needs to get done from a more objective perspective.

| 10 Nov 2023 | Driver Distraction | 00:01:34 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
It is commonly believed that using a cell phone while driving is dangerous.
People often suggest that talking on a cell phone is similar to talking with in-vehicle passengers, or adjusting the radio.
And aren't children an even bigger distraction?
These are common opinions and questions, but they all are based on a poor foundation of the problem of Driver Distraction.
Drivers must concurrently perform several tasks to safely operate a motor vehicle, including speed regulation, lane-keeping, checking mirrors and other locations for potential conflicts, and responding to unexpected events.
When drivers engage in other secondary tasks, such as cell phone use, additional time is required for them to detect and respond to roadway hazards.
This delay in reaction time decreases the likelihood that drivers will be able to appropriately respond to an unexpected hazard in time to avoid a collision.
Many other factors are considered when evaluating the ability of a driver to detect a roadway hazard, including the driver's expectation of the hazard, the available illumination, and the size, color and contrast of the object.
In addition, research demonstrates how the cognitive distractions create an "inattention blindness", which inhibits drivers from detecting and responding to roadway hazards at all, even when other factors are adequate for detection.

| 30 Nov 2023 | Chernobyl (Part 1) | 00:01:41 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
The Chernobyl disaster was caused by a nuclear accident that occurred in April 1986, in the north Ukrainian SSR and is considered the worst nuclear disaster in history.
The accident occurred during a safety test on an RBMK-type nuclear reactor, commonly used throughout the Soviet Union.
The test was a simulation of an electrical power outage to aid the development of a safety procedure for maintaining reactor cooling water circulation until the back-up electrical generators could provide power.
This gap was about one minute and had been identified as a potential safety problem that could cause the nuclear reactor core to overheat.
On the fourth testing attempt, an unexpected 10-hour delay meant that an unprepared operating shift was on duty.
During the planned decrease of reactor power in preparation for the electrical test, the power unexpectedly dropped to a near-zero level.
The operators were able to only partially restore the specified test power, which put the reactor in a potentially unstable condition.
This risk was not made evident in the operating instructions, so the operators proceeded with the electrical test.
Upon test completion, the operators triggered a reactor shutdown, but a combination of unstable conditions and reactor design flaws caused an uncontrolled nuclear chain reaction instead, releasing a large amount of energy that killed two, and hospitalized 134 station staff.
28 died in the days to months afterward and approximately 14 suspected radiation-induced cancer deaths followed within the next 10 years.

| 20 May 2023 | Customer Experience | 00:01:19 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Where the parameters of User Experience appear fairly cut and dry, the Customer Experience is more conceptual in nature, and is typically used as an all-encompassing term. The Customer Experience Professionals Association defines customer experience as: The sum of all the interactions that a customer has with a company over the course of the relationship lifecycle AND The customer's feelings, emotions, and perceptions of the brand over the course of those interactions. Customer Experience is a reflection of the “big picture” – a brand-oriented concept that includes all interactive touchpoints and the perception of the organization as a whole. Some common Customer Experience metrics primarily focus on customers’ perceptions of their interactions with a brand, including the long-term effects of these interactions. Some of these include: Overall Satisfaction Visitor Intent Task Completion Effort Net Promoter Score® (NPS®) Next Steps For more information on Customer Experience and the metrics used, visit CXPA.org This has been another Human Factors Minute!

| 31 May 2023 | Biomechanics | 00:00:56 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Biomechanics is the application of the principles of mechanics and physics to measure the forces exerted by and upon living forms.
Occupational biomechanics is the application of these principles to the measurement of forces exerted by and upon the human body during the performance of work.
These measurements are used to determine physical work performance tolerances with the goal of maximizing work performance while protecting worker occupational health and safety.
The application of the principles of mechanics and lever systems to the human body requires the use of anthropometric data, critical data being the length of body levers or bones as well as distance btwn joints.

| 31 Dec 2023 | HFESTG - Cybersecurity | 00:01:34 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas?
One of those is the Cybersecurity Technical Group.
The CYBERSECURITY TECHNICAL GROUP (CYTG) was established to serve HFES members
and nonmembers who share an interest in studying humans in the context of cyberspace,
cybersecurity, and information security (InfoSec). promoting the study and
observation of how human interaction effects any facet of cybersecurity, and at any level in the
system, from end-users of email to military cyber defense teams.
Cybersecurity human factors includes the scientific application of all human factors and
cognitive as well as emotive concepts, including awareness, workload, stress, teaming, signal
detection, decision-making, and attention research.
Cybersecurity can be understood as a highly complex socio-technical system. The purview
spans studies of end-user security and privacy (where improving the interactions of humans
with software and hardware tools will improve security and reduce the likelihood of successful
attacks), to the operations of corporate and national multi-person-teams of cyberspace
defenders, as well as the offensive components.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Ancient Human Factors History | 00:01:04 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Some have stated that human ergonomics began with Australopithecus prometheus (also known as “little foot”), a primate who created handheld tools out of different types of stone, clearly distinguishing between tools based on their ability to perform designated tasks. The foundations of the science of ergonomics appear to have been laid within the context of the culture of Ancient Greece. A good deal of evidence indicates that Greek civilization in the 5th century BC used ergonomic principles in the design of their tools, jobs, and workplaces. One outstanding example of this can be found in the description Hippocrates gave of how a surgeon's workplace should be designed and how the tools he uses should be arranged. The archaeological record also shows that the early Egyptian dynasties made tools and household equipment that illustrated ergonomic principles. This has been another Human Factors Minute!

| 31 Jan 2024 | Systems Engineering | 00:01:44 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Systems engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering and engineering management that focuses on how to design, integrate, and manage complex systems over their life cycles.
The outcome of these efforts, is an engineered system, and can be defined as a combination of components that work in synergy to collectively perform a useful function.
Issues such as requirements engineering, reliability, logistics, coordination of different teams, testing and evaluation, maintainability and many other disciplines necessary for successful system design, development, implementation, and ultimate decommission become more difficult when dealing with large or complex projects.
Systems engineering deals with work-processes, optimization methods, and risk management tools in such projects.
It overlaps technical and human-centered disciplines such as industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and project management.
Systems engineering ensures that all likely aspects of a project or system are considered and integrated into a whole.
The systems engineering process is a discovery process that is quite unlike a manufacturing process.
Where a manufacturing process is focused on repetitive activities that achieve high quality outputs with minimum cost and time, the systems engineering process must begin by discovering the real problems that need to be resolved, and identifying the most probable or highest impact failures that can occur.
Systems engineering involves finding solutions to these problems.

| 10 Dec 2023 | Human Performance Modeling | 00:01:12 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Human performance modeling (HPM) is a traditional human factors method of quantifying human behavior, cognition, and processes; it's a tool used by human factors researchers and practitioners for both the analysis of human function and for the development of systems designed for optimal user experience and interaction.
The goal of most human performance models is to capture enough detail in a particular domain to be useful for the purposes of investigation, design, or evaluation;
Human performance models contain both the explicit and implicit assumptions or hypotheses upon which the model depends, and are typically mathematical - being composed of equations or computer simulations - although there are also important models that are qualitative in nature.
It is a complementary approach to other usability testing methods for evaluating the impact of interface features on operator performance.

| 30 Jun 2024 | Predetermined Time Standards | 00:01:00 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Predetermined time standards (PTS) are advanced techniques which aim at defining the time needed for the performance of various operations by derivation from preset standards of time for various motions and not by direct observation and measurement.
A predetermined time standard is a work measurement technique whereby times established for basic human motions classified according to the nature of the motion and the conditions under which it is made is used to build up the time for a job at a defined level of performance.
A few of my most widely used predetermined time systems include the Methods-Time-Measurement (MTM). Maynard Operation Sequence Technique (MOST), and Modular Arrangement of Predetermined Tiem Standards (MODAPTS).

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas? One of those is the USABILITY AND SYSTEM EVALUATION TECHNICAL GROUP which changed their name from Test and Evaluation Technical group in April, 2019. which focuses on the quantitative and qualitative methods that human factors and ergonomics professionals apply when evaluating the usability, usefulness, and utility of interface designs and concepts for hardware, software, as well as other products, and services. Test design and evaluation are core skills for human factors and user experience professionals who are dedicated to rigorously and defensibly measuring human-system performance, workload, situational awareness, ease of use, system trust, safety, or user acceptance. Testing can be formative, summative, comparative, or iterative and can be conducted across a broad range of program management and system development processes including waterfall and agile (among others). Of particular interest to this technical group are the tools, techniques, and methodologies applied during testing and system evaluation. Some of these include: test design and measurement approaches, practical implications of results and best practices, impact on interface design and the user experience, and lessons learned.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Aviation Human Factors History (Part 1) | 00:00:59 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! In the United States, the discipline of human factors and ergonomics, is generally considered to have originated during World War II, although advances that contributed to its formation can be traced to the turn of the 20th century. Prior to World War II, the focus was “designing the human to fit the machine” (i.e., trial and error), instead of designing machines to fit the human. Many of the human factors and ergonomic advances originated out of military necessity. With the start of World War I, the first conflict to employ the newly invented airplane in combat, the need arose for methods to rapidly select and train qualified pilots. This prompted the development of aviation psychology and the beginning of aeromedical research. This has been another Human Factors Minute!

| 31 Jul 2024 | Cognitive Walkthrough | 00:01:08 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Cognitive walkthrough: This method is a usability inspection method in which the evaluators can apply user perspective to task scenarios to identify design problems. As applied to macroergonomics, evaluators are able to analyze the usability of work system designs to identify how well a work system is organized and how well the workflow is integrated.
The focus of the cognitive walkthrough is on understanding the system's learnability for new or infrequent users. The cognitive walkthrough was originally designed as a tool to evaluate walk-up-and-use systems like postal kiosks, automated teller machines (ATMs), and interactive exhibits in museums where users would have little or no training. However, the cognitive walkthrough has been employed successfully with more complex systems like CAD software and software development tools to understand the first experience of new users.

FPGs goal is to bring ergonomic data and approaches to the investigation of losses
influenced by design or by human limitations. Arguments may be presented on the
degree to which a design meets current standards and known limitations and
capabilities of the prospective users. The features and provisions for safety, instructions,
and foreseeable misuses are also examined.
The role of the expert witness in the judicial process differs from that of the ordinary
witness in that an expert may give opinion testimony based on specialized
knowledge and training, while a ordinary witness is restricted to specific information
experienced or observed concerning the event under consideration. Anyone with
knowledge in an area of practice well beyond that likely in a jury member may be
declared by the Court to be an expert witness. However, an expert’s credentials are often
important to judges and juries in their evaluation of whether the witness is qualified as
an expert.
Human factors/ergonomics professionals are often uniquely qualified to evaluate the
interactions of people with machines and procedures. They are well prepared to apply
the scientific data on operator performance in practical operating settings.

| 10 Aug 2023 | Driver Behavior | 00:01:36 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
The driving environment requires the successful performance of a highly complex series of interconnected tasks, including navigating, speed regulation, observing posted signs and signals, and responding to unpredictable events in a safe and timely manner.
Through experience, the cognitive processing demands of driving is greatly reduced, leading many to become complacent or distracted by secondary tasks.
Motor vehicle collions occur when drivers unexpectantly encounter a roadway object or person, or become confused due to defects in the design and maintenance of the roadway.
Construction zones often provide challenging environments in which to navigate, and must be designed to provide drivers with adequate and positive guidance.
A disproportionate number of accidents occur at night, due to reduced visibility.
Practitioners and researchers can evaluate the ambient, headlight and supplemental lighting in the area of the collision to determine what the driver could or should have seen prior to the collision.
The salience of objects, pedestrians and bicyclists is an essential component to a complete visibility analysis.
Additional human factors issues relate to visibility (line of sight, nighttime), vehicle headlighting and illumination, perception, cognition, reaction time, and reasonableness of the driver's actions.

| 10 Apr 2023 | Focus Groups | 00:01:38 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Focus groups are a type of qualitative research method that can be a powerful tool in system development, but they should not be the only source of information about user behavior. the proper role of focus groups is not to assess interaction styles or design usability, but to discover what users want from the system. These can be on a one-to-one interview basis, or in a group session. Can be used to gain a large quantity of deep qualitative data, though due to the small sample size, can be subject to a higher degree of individual bias. Can be used at any point in the design process, as it is largely dependent on the exact questions to be pursued, and the structure of the group. Focus groups are a somewhat informal technique that can help you assess user needs and feelings both before interface design and long after implementation. In a focus group, you bring together 6–9 users to discuss issues and concerns about the features of a user interface. They can only assess what customers say they do and not the way customers actually operate the product. Since there are often major differences between what people say and what they do, direct observation of one user at a time always needs to be done to supplement focus groups.

| 30 Sep 2023 | Machine Guarding | 00:01:06 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Machine guarding is an important human factors aspect of human machine interaction and design.
Manufacturers must provide effective guards to separate operators, in time or distance, from a potential hazards while using machines.
Adjustable guards often provide reasonble safe and efficient operation.
Machine guards are often modified or removed by the workers for convenience or optimized workflow at the cost of safety, which exposes workers to the hazard.
When guards are not originally present, modified, or removed, workers may be unknowingly exposed to an unreasonably dangerous condition.
There are many feasible solutions available for manufacturers and employers to ensure that their equipment is used properly, such as Lock-out-tag-out which reduces the inadvertent release of energy.

| 10 Mar 2024 | Wizard of Oz | 00:01:06 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
The Wizard of Oz method is a process that allows a user to interact with an interface without knowing that the responses are being generated by a human rather than a computer by having someone behind-the-scenes who is pulling the levers and flipping the switches.
This process allows researchers to test a concept by having one practitioner – the ‘Moderator’ – leading the session face to face with each user, whilst another practitioner – the ‘Wizard’ – controls the responses sent to the user via the chosen device.
Wizard of Oz: This is a comparatively uncommon technique but has seen some use in mobile devices.
It has the advantage of producing a highly changeable set of reactions, but can be quite costly and difficult to undertake.
The Wizard of Oz methodology allows you to test users’ reactions to a system before you even have to think about development.

| 10 Sep 2024 | Kansei Method | 00:01:03 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
The Kansei method is a method that transforms consumer's responses to new products into design specifications. Also known as Kansei engineering this discipline aims at the development or improvement of products and services by translating the customer's psychological feelings and needs into the domain of product design and parameters. As a result, products can be designed to bring forward the intended feeling.
Kansei engineering can be considered as a methodology within the research field of 'affective engineering' and can be used as a tool for product development.
Three focal points in the kansei method include:
Accurately understanding the consumer
Reflecting and translating consumer understanding into product design
and How to create a system and organization for consumer orientated design

| 28 Feb 2023 | Oil Spill Prevention | 00:01:06 | |
Oil spills happen in rivers, bays and the ocean and are most often caused by accidents involving tankers, barges and oil rigs, among other facilities . But a common cause across all of these oil spills is people making mistakes In the oil and gas industry, Human Factors is an essential component in the effort to operate in a safe and efficient manner to prevent oil spillage. Some areas in which Human Factors has a key role include: -Design of tools, equipment and user interfaces in a way that augments the user’s work performance -Human and organizational factors in risk assessments and emergency preparedness planning -Human behaviour and cognition in accident causation -Efficient decision making and teamwork in stressful or critical situations like oil spills -Safety culture and safety behaviour improvement programs (including leadership) -Organizational reliability The goal is to proactively identify risks and improvement opportunities, apply best practices, and support implementation in business and operational functions.

| 20 Aug 2023 | Slips, Trips, and Falls | 00:01:23 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Slips, trips, and falls are the most common premise liability cases that benefit from human factors testimony. Property owners must maintain safe premises. The question often remains: "Was the trip hazard open and obvious?" Several human factors principles relate to the ability of a pedestrian to detect and identify a trip hazard, including lighting, conspicuity (an object's attention-grabbing characteristics), foreseeable travel path, the size of the object and if the person had previously encountered the object. Analyses can determine if a reasonably attentive person would have recognized the hazard in enough time to avoid, and when applicable, refute claims that the hazard was open and obvious, based on established scientific principles and testing. Post-hoc analysis can also be done on the design factors that precipitate falls on stairs and same-level falls. Dangerous conditions often can be reasonably and feasibly eliminated, resulting in preventable injury or death. This has been another Human Factors Minute!

| 28 Feb 2023 | Safety In Waste Collection Occupations | 00:01:26 | |
Safety is a large concern in waste collection as it has a higher than average fatal injury rate when compared to industry. Waste collection work is associated with a variety of physical, chemical, and biological hazards. Some studies and reports suggest that fatal injuries when exposed to these hazards are more than doubling when considering door-to-door waste collection occupations. Waste collectors are required to perform tasks that involve Frequent lifting of heavy loads, high repetitive tasks, long work durations and insufficient recovery times. These are seen are significant risk factors that may result in chronic injuries and diseases. Human factors plays an important role in improving safety for workers by implementing several human factors principles when considering the design of products, processes, and procedures. Some of these include: Training operators on proper lifting techniques Increasing frequency of collection to reduce overall weight of containers suggesting rotation of staffing to reduce fatigue in single individuals and ergonomic improvements of the collection bins and trucks to be easier to maneuver or use by operators These are just some of the ways in which Human Factors can contribute to ensure minimal waste makes it to the ocean To donate to #teamseas or to find out more about the #teamseas campaign, visit teamseas.org Guest hosted by Matteo Vinci Be sure to check out our main show at our official website: https://www.humanfactorscast.media Support us on these platforms to get access to the entire Human Factors Minute library:

...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
high integration of technology, organization, and people HITOP is a step-by-step manual procedure for industry practitioners who must implement technological change.
The basic premises of the procedure are that technological change will be more successfully
implemented when managers and designers are aware of the organizational and human implications of
their technology plans, and that this knowledge is used to design systems that integrate technology within its organizational and human context.
HITOP was developed in direct response to an industry-identified need for simple tools that identify likely organizational and human implications of technology plans.
With HITOP, companies preparing for technology changes are provided with the forms, checklists, terms, and questions for assessing the human and organizational changes needed to support the technology changes.

| 20 Jun 2023 | Ethnographic Analysis | 00:01:06 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Ethnographic analysis, or the study of ethnography, is a branch of Human Factors that involves the direct study of people and cultures.
The purpose of ethnographic analysis is to allow scientists to observe their subjects on the ground level, interacting with them as another person would instead of creating a scientist-subject relationship.
Ethnographic research is designed to produce both descriptive, scientific observations and data that can represent a culture mathematically.
To produce these kinds of results, researchers use several techniques, including direct observation, interviews and questionnaires or polls to collect both qualitative and quantitative data.
Researchers in Human Factors, utilize ethnographic techniques early in the design or research process. to expand and add context to their research. Ethnography is also used in business to better understand customers and a business's employees.

| 20 Apr 2023 | Iterative Design | 00:00:57 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Iterative design is a design methodology based on a cyclic process of prototyping, testing, analyzing, and refining a product or process. Based on the results of testing the most recent iteration of a design, changes and refinements are made. This process is intended to ultimately improve the quality and functionality of a design and may be applied throughout the new product development process. However, changes are easiest and less expensive to implement in the earliest stages of development. In iterative design, interaction with the designed system is used as a form of research for informing and evolving a project, as successive versions, or iterations of a design are implemented.

| 20 Jan 2025 | Alarms | 00:01:11 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Alarms and alarm systems are often an integral aspect of a Human-Machine Interfaces (HMI), along with displays and controls. An effective HMI should support optimal human performance.
Alarms help personnel to maintain a system or process within a safe operating ‘envelope’ and help them recognise early and respond to faults, malfunctions or abnormal conditions.
An alarm can be defined as an audible or visual indication of an equipment malfunction, process deviation, or abnormal condition requiring a response by a person.
A key point is that every alarm should have a clearly defined operator response. If a response cannot be defined, then the signal generated by the Human-Machine Interface should not be an alarm.
Ineffective alarm management has often been cited as a contributory factor in major accidents around the world. Alarm management refers to the processes and practices for designing, operating, monitoring and maintaining alarm systems.

| 10 Sep 2023 | Subjects in Tandem | 00:01:03 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Subjects-in-tandem, also known as "Co-Discovery" is a methodology employed where two subjects are asked to work concurrently on a series of tasks while vocalizing their analytical observations.
Using this technique, participants can feed off of each other's comments to generate a richer set of observations than is normally possible with the participants interacting separately.
Another benefit to this methodology is that having two people work together on a collaborative problem, can be more natural for the users, and may better reflect the end user operating environment.
This process is usually recorded so that researchers can go and perform post hoc analyses.
The participants feedback is observed by the researcher, and can be used to discover usability difficulties that involve multiple users interacting with a product at once.

| 30 Jun 2023 | Surveys and Questionnaires | 00:01:11 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Surveys and questionnaires are commonly used reserach techniques that are used across multiple disciplines including human factors.
Surveys and questionnaires have an advantage in that they can be administered to a large group of people, using e-mail for example, at relatively low cost, enabling the researcher to gather a large amount of data in a short amount of time.
The downside of these quick methods can be the validity of the data that's obtained. Validity of Survey data can be questionable, as the questions must be written and interpreted correctly by the reader, and are, by definition, subjective.
Further Those who actually respond are in effect self-selecting as well, widening the gap between the sample and the target population.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Availability of Resources for LGBTQIAP+ in Human Factors, UX, and HCI | 00:01:52 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! In recent years, leaders and organizations within Human Factors, HCI, and UX have focused efforts on improving inclusivity throughout the fields. While these efforts have not gone unnoticed, the lack of diversity, specifically the inclusion of the LGBTQIA+ community, persists. In our research, we found a limited availability of resources for marginalized community members entering the field, as well as limited consideration of queer users in design. Few studies have examined the inclusion of this marginalized community in Human Factors. One example of studies utilizing inclusionary research methods is a 2017 study examining the impact of technology on relationship therapy effectiveness. Another study, published in January 2022, highlighted the use of VR-based therapy to improve mental health outcomes. While there are affinity groups and clubs within organizations, the lack of research on inclusion within the field suggests considerations for queer users are likely limited, as well. This highlights a greater need for the inclusion of LGBTQIA+ members in all areas of research and design, who can advocate for queer users. Participants in a 2019 study examining diversity at the HFES Annual Meeting noted the important role advocacy plays in increasing diversity and inclusion. Given this information, it is clear that, in order to have more inclusive designs for queer users, our profession must ensure we support advocacy and allyship by providing considerations and resources for these users within our own fields.

| 31 Mar 2023 | User Analysis | 00:00:56 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! User analysis: User Analysis is a process that is focused on designing for the intended user or operator by establishing the characteristics that define them, detailing key features or attributes to be included in a desing, and creating a persona for the target user base. This analysis is best done at the outset of the design process to identify most common user types, and the characteristics that they would be assumed to have in common to help inform design. This can be problematic if the design concept does not match the actual user, or if the identified user base is too vague to make clear design decisions from.

| 20 Feb 2024 | Chernobyl (Part 3) | 00:01:08 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Let's take a look at the Human Error that contributed to the Chernobyl disaster.
Many believe the disaster was caused by ‘human error’, based on early reports that placed substantial blame on the operators at Chernobyl.
A report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), placed considerable emphasis on the role of plant operators.
This report was based upon a meeting organised by the IAEA, and was attended by international nuclear experts, who discussed the causes of the disaster and lessons learned.
The IAEA report stated that:
“… the accident was caused by a remarkable range of human errors and violations of operating rules in combination with specific reactor features which compounded and amplified the effects of the errors and led to the reactivity excursion”.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Design of Reduce/Reuse/Recycle Receptacles | 00:01:27 | |
Ensuring trash and recycling makes it into proper receptacles is important because it prevents pollution, reduces the need to harvest new raw materials, and is critical for reducing runoff of materials into the ocean Human factors plays a key role when considering the design of these recepticles and their environment to encourage adoption Some ways in which Human Factors can encourage people to utilize these bins are to: 1. Make clear what materials can be recycled, and where they go by using large clear words, pictures, colors, among other design features 2. Design recycling bins to discourage people from adding trash by providing small holes for cans, or designing the lid to resemble recycleable-specific features 3. Ensure trash cans are easy to use, clearly marked, and placed in an easily accessible locations next to the recycling bins for user convenience 4. Educate the public continuously on the importance of good recycling habits and ensure positive messaging around recycling to show what can be recycled and how This is just one of the many ways in which Human Factors can contribute to ensure minimal waste makes it to the ocean To donate to #teamseas or to find out more about the #teamseas campaign, visit teamseas.org Guest read by Lab Member Katie Sabo Be sure to check out our main show at our official website: https://www.humanfactorscast.media Support us on these platforms to get access to the entire Human Factors Minute library:

| 20 Oct 2023 | Task Analysis | 00:01:10 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Task analysis is the process of learning about ordinary users by observing them in action to understand in detail how they perform their tasks and achieve their intended goals.
With roots in activity theory, task analysis is a way of systematically describing human interaction with a system or process to understand how to match the demands of the system or process to human capabilities.
The complexity of this process is generally proportional to the complexity of the task being analyzed, and so can vary in cost and time involvement.
It is a qualitative and observational process best used early in the design process to help identify the tasks that the product must support.
This can also help practitioners refine or re-define your product by determining the appropriate content scope.

| 10 Jan 2024 | Chernobyl (Part 2) | 00:01:18 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
As with any complex event, a variety of factors combined to cause the Chernobyl disaster.
These causes illustrate exactly how Human Factors touches many parts of an overall system's design.
The incident occurred during experiments to test the operation of the independent power supply, in the event of loss of external power sources.
The plant was operated in an unstable condition without adequate safety precautions.
Personnel were inadequately trained (they were unaware of RBMK characteristics that made low power operation extremely hazardous).
Inadequate containment structures allowed radioactive material into the atmosphere.
Initial emergency response and countermeasures were inadequate.
The disaster was a product of flawed reactor design, poor safety culture and serious mistakes by Chernobyl staff.
When failures in complex technologies and human failures combine, the consequences are often multiplied.

| 20 May 2024 | Work Sampling | 00:01:03 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Work sampling is a method in which the job is sampled at random intervals to determine the proportion of total time spent on a particular task.[46] It provides insight into how often workers are performing tasks which might cause strain on their bodies.
In a work sampling study, a large number of observations are made of the workers over an extended period of time. For statistical accuracy, the observations must be taken at random times during the period of study, and the period must be representative of the types of activities performed by the subjects.
One important usage of the work sampling technique is the determination of the standard time for a manual manufacturing task. Similar techniques for calculating the standard time are time study, standard data, and predetermined motion time systems

| 31 May 2024 | Workplace Safety | 00:01:33 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
A U.S. worker dies as a result of a workplace injury every 2 hours.
In 2011 alone, almost 4 million U.S. workers were injured on the job.
While the Workers' Compensation system was designed to provide financial support to those injured at work, many injuries are not the result of the employer's work practices, but rather other entities.
Workplaces, especially construction sites, can be very dangerous, requiring extensive safety protocols and procedures to ensure the safety of workers and pedestrians.
Sometimes workers choose not to follow the safety protocols.
OSHA's commonly cited General Duty Clause requires that employers provide a workplace that is free from recognized hazards, however the next paragraph in the code is often forgotten:
"Each employee shall comply with occupational safety and health standards and all rules, regulations, and orders issued pursuant to this Act which are applicable to his own actions and conduct."
which places part of the responsibility of the employees to interact with their environment in a safe and responsible way.
Training and experience in Human Factors, specifically occupational safety and health, provides the foundation to investigate defective products, gross negligence or misconduct, or the actions of a third party on the worksite.

| 30 Sep 2024 | HFESTG - Individual Differences in Performance | 00:01:45 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas? One of those is the
The Individual Differences in Performance Technical Group. The Individual differences technical group was established to serve HFES members who share an interest in any of the wide range of individual differences or variables that are believed to mediate human performance.
Members of this TG share a common view that the study of these differences as related to human performance is not only useful but also may lead to better design of equipment, prediction of human task performance, operational environments, and training and selection.
The domain of research and applied topics shared within this technical group includes a broad range of individual differences such as performance ability, gender, intelligence, education, training level, personality traits, and anthropometric variables.
The Individual differences TG domain also includes investigating a wide range of social, cognitive, and biological origins of individual differences.
The crucial unifying principle of the TG is the importance of such variables for the advancement of human factors theory, research, and application.
The motto adopted as a guide for the group is “Prevent injury and improve performance and human-technology interaction by recognizing individual differences in human capabilities and
limitations.”

| 20 Jun 2024 | Chernobyl (Part 6) | 00:01:37 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
There are a few lessons learned that we can take from the Chernobyl disaster.
Engaging our colleagues and leaders on the topics of human error, design failures and safety culture can help improve our workplaces.
Here are a few questions you can ask about your workplace:
What human factors influenced the behaviours of the operators in the control room? What factors might influence the key decisions that you and your team make?
Does your organisation impose artificial deadlines that may lead to corner-cutting or shortcuts, in order to meet targets?
Investigations sometimes conclude that an incident is the result of ‘human error’ and blame a few individuals. If we take this approach, how effective will we be at preventing similar events?
The design features of the RBMK nuclear reactors were known elsewhere, but not communicated to the personnel at Chernobyl. How does your organisation learn lessons? Do you really learn lessons (e.g. change your designs or processes), or do you simply share the messages? Does anyone follow-up that learnings have been embedded?
Are near-misses investigated and lessons shared within your company (and with the wider industry)? What might prevent such sharing?
How do you prepare staff for unusual situations, process upsets and emergencies?
How can you improve the effectiveness of on-site emergency plans (those implemented by the company) and off-site emergency plans (those implemented by the authorities)?
The criticality accident was not imagined by the designers. How can we identify and manage accident scenarios that are not currently addressed in existing analyses, safety reports or safety cases?
What are the disadvantages of relying upon operators to follow written instructions? What would be a more reliable approach?
Hopefully these questions were helpful to start applying some of the lessons learned from Chernobyl to your everyday lives.
That's all on Chernobyl for now, but we may revisit the topic in the future.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Think aloud protocol | 00:01:04 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Think aloud protocol: Also known as "concurrent verbal protocol", is the process of asking a user to execute a series of tasks or use technology, while continuously verbalizing their thoughts so that a researcher can gain insights into the users' analytical process. This method can be useful for identifying design flaws that do not affect task performance, but may have a negative cognitive effect on the user. Additionally, this technique can also be useful for utilizing experts to better understand procedural knowledge of the task in question. This practice is less expensive than focus groups, but tends to be more specific and subjective. This has been another Human Factors Minute!

| 20 Mar 2024 | Safety Culture | 00:01:31 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Safety culture is about what people do (safety-related behaviours); how people feel (individual and group values, attitudes and perceptions) as well as what the organisation has (policies, procedures, structures and systems). These three aspects are interrelated and therefore not mutually exclusive.
A company’s safety culture is shaped by corporate practices and organisational behaviour, and so a full picture can’t be gained from just focusing on the perceptions of staff.
If you collect data (from surveys, talking to staff etc) then communicate the findings back to those involved – and take action.Interventions on safety culture should not only explore attitudes and behaviours of the front-line workforce, but also question and challenge managers and leaders.
Rather than trying to influence safety culture directly, it's helpful to focus on a specific topic (such as procedures, fatigue, competence). How you go about this intervention could have a significant effect on a range of predictors of a positive safety culture (such as involving staff, listening to their concerns, making leaders more visible and taking visible action to improve).
Creating a positive safety culture takes a great deal of time and effort; perhaps over several years; and is not a one-off process.

| 10 Mar 2023 | Critical Incident Technique | 00:01:14 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Critical incident technique (CIT) is a research method in which participants are asked to recall and describe a time when a behavior, action, or positive or negative occurrence impacted a specified outcome for example, the accomplishment of a given task. The technique was developed by Flanagan and fellow psychologists from the US Aviation Psychology Program during the World War 2, and later by the American Institute for Research and the University of Pittsburgh. The CIT has become popular in the social sciences and has found applications in human–computer interaction research, because it facilitates the gathering of many detailed behaviors or events. These are useful in understanding critical requirements for roles, systems, and processes. For example, the C-I-T has been used to highlight characteristics of successful personnel like nurses, doctors, air-traffic controllers, as well as critical requirements for training programs and user interfaces.

| 29 Feb 2024 | Task Analysis Techniques | 00:01:21 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Task analysis is a fundamental methodology in the assessment and reduction of human error. A
wide variety of different task analysis methods exist, and it would be impracticable to describe all
these techniques here. Instead, the intention is to describe representative methodologies applicable
to different types of task.
The term Task Analysis (TA) can be applied very broadly to encompass a wide variety of human
factors techniques. Nearly all task analysis techniques provide, as a minimum, a description of the
observable aspects of operator behavior at various levels of detail, together with some indications
of the structure of the task. These will be referred to as action oriented approaches.
Other techniques focus on the mental processes which underlie observable behavior, e.g. decision making
and problem solving. These are referred to as cognitive approaches.
TA methods can be used to eliminate the preconditions that give rise to errors before they occur.
They can be used as an aid in the design stage of a new system, or the modification of an existing
system. They can also be used as part of an audit of an existing system.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Designing for LGBTQIAP+ | 00:01:56 | |
HFC Pride content: In celebration of pride month, how can designers create LGBTQIAP+ inclusive interfaces, websites, and products? Inclusivity can create not just a welcoming environment for the community, but it can improve the experience for allies as well through setting a groundwork of acceptance of all identities. There is more to inclusivity than turning a company logo into a rainbow flag for the month of June. When creating a product or website that requires a user to sign-up, designers can choose to leave out the option for gender all together. If this information is needed, they can include “non-binary” or “ other” as an option. It is important that a designer incorporates gender-neutral terms throughout the product that doesn’t exclude. Representation matters, and that can be accomplished in many ways, such as allowing users to express themselves through icons and avatars, and designers can use this an opportunity to incorporate gender-neutral forms of expression. Sometimes, representation can come in the form of displaying images that include the LGBTQIAP+ community, or even designing marketing campaigns that are aimed towards the community. When it comes to designing a product, design researchers can open up studies to specifically include members of the LGBTQIAP+ community, so that they are represented in the final product. Finally, designers can create a product that protects the privacy of its LGBTQIAP+ users. Some members of the community may not want their identity or data shared elsewhere. It is a designers’ duty to create a product that keeps its users safe from unwanted sharing of sensitive data, and informs them of what is shared.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Using Human-Centered Design for LGBTQIAP+ Health Care | 00:02:02 | |
People who identify as LGBTQIAP+ have a higher risk of mental and physical health challenges as compared to the general population. These include sexually transmitted diseases, substance use, cancers, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, bullying, isolation, rejection, anxiety, depression, and suicide. Health care providers may lack adequate training on the specific needs and challenges faced by sexual and gender minorities. This can perpetuate prejudice and discrimination, resulting in poor quality of care. Access to proper training about the needs and challenges faced by the LGBTQIAP+ community is essential for health care providers. They can use this education to deliver more comprehensive, scientific, and humane care. To develop this training, we can consider using human-centered design (HCD). Using HCD encourages the engagement of multiple stakeholder groups (including youth, families, and providers) in our search for better ways to serve the growing number of people who identify as LGBTQIAP+. HCD methods (such as the creative matrix and importance-difficulty matrix) can be used to brainstorm a mix of traditional and innovative strategies. These strategies can then be prioritized based on their impact and ability to be successfully executed. To test the broad concepts of these ideas and develop them further, we can use low-fidelity prototypes with various people and environments. This testing can help us develop high-fidelity prototypes that are ready for more involved clinical trials, and eventual use in clinical practice. By taking an HCD approach, we can create meaningful, acceptable, and novel interventions to address the multilevel factors that impact health care for the LGBTQIAP+ community.

| 31 Oct 2023 | Human Computer Interaction | 00:01:36 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field of study focusing on the design of computer technology and, in particular, the interaction between humans (the users) and computers. While initially concerned with computers, HCI has since expanded to cover almost all forms of information technology design.
HCI surfaced in the 1980s with the advent of personal computing, that started turning up in homes and offices in society-changing numbers. From its origins, HCI would expand to incorporate multiple disciplines, such as computer science, cognitive science and human-factors engineering.
HCI researchers focused on improving the usability of desktop computers (i.e., practitioners concentrated on how easy computers are to learn and use). However, with the rise of technologies such as the Internet and the smartphone, computer use would increasingly move away from the desktop to embrace the mobile world.
HCI has grown to be broader, larger and much more diverse than computer science itself. HCI expanded from its initial focus on individual and generic user behavior to include social and organizational computing, accessibility for the elderly, the cognitively and physically impaired, and for all people, and for the widest possible spectrum of human experiences and activities.

| 28 Feb 2023 | Aviation Human Factors History (Part 2) | 00:00:58 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
The outbreak of World War II, witnessed the tipping point where the technological advances had finally outpaced the ability of people to adapt and compensate to poor designs. This was most evident in airplane crashes by highly-trained pilots due to problems with control configurations. The two decades following the end of World War II saw the continuation of military-sponsored research, driven in large part, by the Cold War. Towards the late 1970s large airline calamities ushered in an era of research focused on crew resource management and command training. Today, the technology and automation in the General Aviation cockpit is exceeding the capabilities of pilots who are ill trained to manage modern automation issues.

| 10 Jun 2024 | HFESTG - Health Care | 00:01:21 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know that the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society has 24 technical groups that are concerned with the human factors aspects of specific application areas?
One of those is the Healthcare Technica Group
The Healthcare Technical Group is interested in maximizing the contributions of human
factors and ergonomics to medical systems’ effectiveness, patient safety and the quality
of life for people who are sick or functionally impaired. We seek to bring together
people who share our interests.
The healthcare domain is a growing sector of HFES, with interest being spurred by the
patient-safety movement, the growth of medical informatics, and the concerns for
medical needs of the aging population.
From studying specific medical devices, to the macro-ergonomic systems approach to safety
culture, the TG believes that human factors methodologies and techniques have much to offer
companies that design and manufacture medical products, as well as organizations that
establish health care environments, systems, policies, and procedures.

| 20 Apr 2024 | Time Studies | 00:01:01 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
A time study is a structured process of directly observing and measuring human work using a timing device to establish the time required for completion of the work by a qualified worker when working at a defined level of performance.
Typically, time studies determine the time required for a worker to complete each task. by breaking the work into small, easily-measurable components or elements, measurement of those components and, synthesizing data from those measured components to arrive at an overall time for the complete job.
Time studies are often used to analyze cyclical jobs, or jobs that are conducted repeatedly by the operator.
Many times, these types of tasks are considered "event based" studies because time measurements are triggered by the occurrence of predetermined events.

| 20 Sep 2023 | Human Systems Integration | 00:01:23 | |
...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Human Systems Integration (HSI) is a robust process by which practitioners design and develop systems that effectively integrate human capabilities and limitations.
HSI is a multidisciplinary field of study composed of several basic areas: Human Factors Engineering, System Safety, Health Hazards, Personnel Survivability, Manpower,Personnel,Training,Habitability.
HSI includes humans, in their different roles in the system such as acting as an operator, maintainer, trainer, or designer
Systems including hardware, software and acquisition processes and the integration of all of these elements to optimize the performance and safety of the system as a whole.
HSI should be included as an integral part of a total system approach to the development and acquisition human machine interfaces.
The Defense Acquisition Guidebook states that a, “total system includes the prime mission equipment, the people who operate, maintain, and support the system; As well as the training and training devices that support operations and infrastructure”.
The principle goal of HSI is to ensure a safe and effective relationship between the human and the system that meets the mission.
