Applying Human Factors in the Control Room to Achieve High Performance in Operator Response
This presentation will explain many of today’s current challenges with control room design, and how standards and best practices are currently addressing many of these issues. It will address what methodologies are being used to guide designers to meet all the requirements both internal to the company and International standards. Many control rooms have contributed to Organizational Accidents and the webinar will cover how a complete design can lead to a High-Performance Control Room environment addressing the practices and tools used by operators to safely and efficiently monitor highly hazardous and safety critical systems. We will demonstrate how a simple step methodology can fix many of the gaps generated by independent designers, such as workload studies, alarm management, high performance, Screen physical layout and design, and console designs that influence the design of the control room. We will discuss new practices that are integrating other disciplines into the control room environment found in many Integrated Operations Centers (IOCs). Finally, we will focus on what does good look like and how can you confirm you have meet todays’ standards and practices.
