Understanding the role of the operator – task analysis on key functions/tasks to inform design development, Human Factors requirements capture and Human Factors design advice
-
Attendance at key design review meetings (SDDR, MDDR)
-
Input into optioneering / design of analytical techniques and proposed technologies
-
Providing ergonomic design advice / review to aspects such as HMI, anthropometric assessment, glovebox design, maintenance tasks, access / egress, workspace layout, etc.
-
Human Factors support to Analytical Equipment Modifiers / down selection and nuclearisation of instruments o
-
Human Factors design verification of operator tasks, equipment design and workplace environments
-
Human Factors support to Pre-operations function (staffing levels, training, competency, procedures, etc.).
-
Human Factors safety case support, for example:
-
Input into the nuclear safety case strategy, utilising SL Human Factors methodologies
-
Attendance at HAZOPs and input into fault identification
-
Input into allocation of safety function to operational controls
-
Input into the development of radiological, criticality and chemotoxic safety assessments
-
Human Factors substantiation of safety significant tasks / operator claims.
-
Human Factors security support, for example:
-
Developing Human Factors in security design principles and guidance
-
Human Factors review and substantiation of security claims
Human Factors support will also be required throughout the remaining project lifecycle, to ensure that the operator role is adequate and that the design outcome meets the user needs, accommodates for human psychological and physical characteristics and minimises the potential for human error and violations.
