Abstract

HumHID is a hazard identification process that uses cognitive work analysis techniques and human factors/error taxonomy information to help identify human related hazards and the possible causes of them so designs can be modified to mitigate or tolerate such hazards. To facilitate the usability of HumHID, a software tool was constructed to guide users through the methodology and to automate otherwise tedious activities. An initial pilot study of the HumHID method and tool was conducted with industrial personnel on an industry case study to assess its usability and usefulness prior to conducting a full case study. The feasibility trial results showed that, with some further improvements, the method and software tool could help process organisations identify human factors issues.
