Human Factors / Occupational Risk Management

Human factors consider the application of psychology, physiology, anthropometrics and biomechanics in design to enhance health, safety, usability, performance, and user experience. Working environment assessment evaluate the arrangement, ergonomics, chemical, physical, and psycho-social factors in a workplace, and compare the results against established occupational health policies, standards and procedures.

The key assessment is to evaluate critical task performance, which ensures that all risks associated with tasks are identified, that equipment and systems are designed to minimise human error and a safe and effective working environment is maintained. This will ensure that known risks associated with critical tasks can be prevented or mitigated. The critical task performance includes review of critical Tasks, system and equipment design, and the critical task environment.

Albain Group works closely with companies to help them design processes and work systems so that 'people issues' are considered carefully and systematically. Human behaviour and decision-making is always part of the picture - not only within labour-intensive production, but also in highly automated systems. We specialise in a range of human factor and working environment analyses and services to all industries and sectors.
