  6. Importance of Human Factors in Process Industries • Important to improve personal/ worker safety. ( i.e. work on behavioural improvement, ergonomics, training etc) • Many process companies have demonstrated high standards of performance in this area. Process companies are amongst world leaders in safety performance.

  7. Importance of Human Factors in Process Industries • Industry has a much greater responsibility to the public and others in the Control of Major Hazards A major incident can affect the reputation of the whole industry across Europe. e,g Toulouse

  8. Control of Major Hazards • The necessary high standard of performance require Equipment fit for purpose Management Procedures Attention to Human Factors

  9. Control of Major Hazards • Regulations and the authorities can have an impact in improving performance. e.g Seveso II • However greatest improvement will & must be through the action of those in direct control of the process.

  10. FG2 Seminar Overview • Other PRISM seminars have already covered some of the relevant issues • Procedures ( FG2) • Training (FG2) • High demand situations (FG3) • Control room manning (FG3) • Design of control rooms (FG3 & 4) • This seminar offers an opportunity to share best practice on this topic

  11. FG2 Seminar Overview • Seminar will include • Presentations from speakers from Industry, Research Organisations, Universities. • Panel discussions • Practical sessions Opportunity to share your experience
