Error
Between 70% and 90% of failures are attributable to human and organisational failure

• Anthropometrics
• Biomechanics
• Health and safety
• Physical Interfaces
• Work stations
Physical Ergonomics
• Human capabilities and limitations
• Recognise, decide, act
• Skilled performance (Cognitive
Task Analysis)
• Human error/reliability
Cognitive Ergonomics
Sociotechnical Ergonomics
The Sociotechnical ApproachA system comprises assets, processes and people, and the
interactions between these three components.
Plant
Technology
Equipment
People
Roles & responsibilities
Leadership
Competence
Culture
Processes
Procedures
Risk assessment
Communications
The interactions between:• People and people, • People and plant, and• People and processes
Are crucial to the success of the asset.

Much faster More time consuming
Is there a red T on display?
Little difference Processing is even slower
Increasing the number of distracters
A B
Visual response in different light levels
• This curve peaks at 555 nanometres.
• Under normal lighting, eye is most
sensitive to a greenish yellow colour
(photopic vision).
• Response changes significantly as shown
by the scotopic response curve
• In low light rods are most active and the
human eye is more sensitive to any
amount of light that is present, but is less
sensitive to the range of colour.
• At very low light level, sensitivity to blue,
violet, and ultraviolet is increased, but
sensitivity to yellow and red is reduced.
Summary of Cognitive Model
Zone 2: Check In Hall
BusyRelatively low
confidence
Intently focused on
primary tasks
(checking in)Time pressured
High mental
workload
StressedNOT thinking about
secondary tasks
Focused on either:
• Navigating to correct
check in desk;
• Navigating to
departures hall or
security following check
in.
Check In Entrance Area:
Very high workload and mental demands; high
anxiety, higher temporal demand.
Main EntranceEntrance Entrance
Check In Desks Check In Desks
To Landside
Departures HallCheck In Queues:
Workload and anxiety levels
fall during queue. Begin to
think about secondary tasks
Zone 3: Landside Concourse
Primary tasks are
less important
Focused on
secondary tasks,
but less critical
Confidence is
building
Low temporal
demandLow anxiety
Low mental
workload
Cafes, bars, sitting areas:
Low workload, low anxiety,
‘open’ to new information.
In hall:
Initially, passengers are
less directed by specific
goals. Will ‘browse’ the
visual environment.

perform and how long to dwell
