• Abstract:
  This standard establishes and defines the requirements for applying human factors engineering to the design, development, and acquisition of systems, equipment, and facilities. These requirements include the work to be accomplished in conducting a human factors engineering effort integrated with the total system engineering and development effort. Compliance with this standard will help reach the following goals: a. The system design reflects appropriate consideration of the human component in the context of the task being performed. b. The personnel--‐hardware--‐software combination meets system performance goals through proper design of hardware, software, and environment. c. The design features will not constitute a hazard to personnel. The system design will neither contribute to nor induce human error during system operations and maintenance. e. The systems will be easy--‐to--‐use, preventing errors, supporting recovery from errors, and reducing task completion time. f . The procedures for operating and maintaining systems are efficient, reliable, and safe. g. The layout of the facility and the arrangement of equipment provide adequate access to workspace personnel and promote effective communication among team members.
