In 2025, the Human and Organisational Factors Working Group (HOFWG) designed a new leaflet to raise awareness on the risks to use mobile device in rail operations. This leaflet is available in several languages:...
Abstract: This article aims to provide insights into achieving situational awareness as a basis for safe automated railway operations. Automation in rail transport has a significant influence on employees’ situational awareness…
Abstract: It is easy to assume that introducing automation into a task would decrease the mental workload on the operator – after all, if they are doing less, then the task must be easier. It also makes intuitive sense that…
Abstract: Due to technological advances, automation is nowadays no longer regarded only as a tool for humans but, due to the execution of complex tasks, is increasingly discussed in terms of a team member. This article describes how successful teaming…

Abstract This paper discusses the ways in which automation of industrial processes may expand rather than eliminate problems with the human operator. Some comments will... https://doi.org/10.1016/0005-1098(83)90046-8
Abstract: Progress enables the creation of more automated and intelligent machines with increasing abilities that open up new roles between humans and machines. Only with a proper design for the resulting cooperative...
Abstract: This paper reviews the key perspectives on human error and analyses the core theories and methods developed and applied over the last 60 years. These theories and methods have sought to improve our...
Abstract: Major accidents are rare events due to the many barriers, safeguards and defences developed by modern technologies. But they continue to happen with saddening regularity and their human and financial...
Abstract: Part I discusses the Job Content Questionnaire (JCQ), designed to measure scales assessing psychological demands, decision latitude, social support, physical demands, and job insecurity. Part II describes the...
Abstract: This report analyzes a sample of 246 British railroad incidents using data from the Rail Safety and Standards Board (RSSB) Safety Management Information System (SMIS) and Incident Factor Classification System...
Abstract: In the 20 years since the publication of the first edition of Bodyspace the knowledge base upon which ergonomics rests has increased significantly. The need for an authoritative, contemporary and, above all,...
Abstract: The human error problem can be viewed in two ways: the person approach and the system approach. Each has its model of error causation and each model gives rise to quite different philosophies of error...
Abstract: This chapter focuses on a systems-based technique for accident analysis, referred to as the AcciMap approach." The technique involves the construction ofa multilayered diagram in which the various causes of...
Abstract: Risk management has a number of accident causation models that have been used for a number of years. Dr. Nancy Leveson (2002) has developed a new model of accidents using a systems approach. The new model is...
Abstract: In order to manage the performance of socio-technical systems in a safe and sustainable way, the importance of looking at human and organisational factors (HOF) and their contribution to adverse events is...
Abstract: The objective of this paper is to present the human factors training methodology in Adif and its theoretical bases. This methodology represents a different way of understanding safety, more focused on what to...
Abstract: How do organisational cultures influence safety? Answering this question requires a strategy for investigating organisational culture. By far the most widely used research strategy is the perception survey....
