Some of the major topics covered are as follows:

  • The history of industrial human machine interfaces and safety critical systems
  • Understanding human error
  • Understanding human perception
  • Displays and Controls
  • Alarms
  • Situation awareness

Knowledge:

  • Demonstrate how cognitive & physical abilities impacts safety in safety critical designs

Skills:

  • Create concepts for safety critical designs that take into consideration users and use context
  • Iteratively develop safety critical designs from early non-functional sketches to mock-ups

General Competence:

  • Understand safety in the context of safety critical design.
