REPORT 454: HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING IN PROJECTS2nd editionJune 2020Published byEnergy Institute, LondonThe Energy Institute is a professional membership body incorporated by Royal Charter 2003Registered charity number 1097899

The Energy Institute (EI) is the chartered professional membership body for the energy industry, supporting over 20 000 individualsworking in or studying energy and 200 energy companies worldwide. The EI provides learning and networking opportunities to supportprofessional development, as well as professional recognition and technical and scientific knowledge resources on energy in all its formsand applications.The EI’s purpose is to develop and disseminate knowledge, skills and good practice towards a safe, secure and sustainable energy system.In fulfilling this mission, the EI addresses the depth and breadth of the energy sector, from fuels and fuels distribution to health and safety,sustainability and the environment. It also informs policy by providing a platform for debate and scientifically-sound information on energyissues.The EI is licensed by: the Engineering Council to award Chartered, Incorporated and Engineering Technician status, and the Society for the Environment to award Chartered Environmentalist status.It also offers its own Chartered Energy Engineer, Chartered Petroleum Engineer, and Chartered Energy Manager titles.A registered charity, the EI serves society with independence, professionalism and a wealth of expertise in all energy matters.This publication has been produced as a result of work carried out within the Technical Team of the EI, funded by the EI’s Technical Partners.It is co-published by the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP). The EI’s Technical Work Programme provides industrywith cost-effective, value-adding knowledge on key current and future issues affecting those operating in the energy sector, both in theUK and internationally.For further information, please visit http://www.energyinst.org, or https://www.iogp.org/The EI gratefully acknowledges the financial contributions towards the scientific and technical programme from the following companies:ADNOCBP Exploration Operating Co LtdBP Oil UK LtdChevron North Sea LtdChevron Products CompanyChrysaorCLHConocoPhillips LtdDCC EnergyDrax GroupEDF EnergyEDPRENIE.

REPORT 454: HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING IN PROJECTS 7 FOREWORD Human Factors Engineering (HFE) focuses on the application of human factors knowledge to the design and construction of socio-technical systems. The objective is to ensure systems are designed in a way that optimises the human contribution to production, and minimises potential for .
