Why HFE is applied to the design of work
systems, workplaces and products???
To reduce risk to health, personal and process safety and the
environment
4
Benefits of proper integration of HFE in
projects
Reduction in CAPEX by contributing to more efficient design
and avoiding the need for expensive changes and/or re-work
late in design.
Reducing the need for re-work or change during or after
construction.
Reduction in life cycle costs of operating and maintaining
facilities (OPEX).
Improvements in HSE performance, and reduced operational
HSE risk.
Enhanced user commitment (‘buy in’) often resulting in faster
approval cycles.

HFE in the project lifecycle
6
Overview of HFE in the project lifecycle
7
Stage I: HFE screening (SELECT)
conducted early in project lifecycle - preferably before FEED
method - Desktop review or a structured workshop
method used depends on the complexity of the project
assessment of HFE complexity done by the PM & other
stakeholders based on -
the degree of change or novelty being introduced, including the use of
automation
the criticality of the facilities to be developed (to process or personal safety,
environmental control, or production)
the operational context such as geographical location, climatic conditions,
and hazards inherent to the operation
output of the HFE Screening will be either:
A minuted record that there is no value to be added by applying HFE OR
An HFE Strategy for the project
8
Stage I: HFE screening cont.… Applying the
screening tool –
team first decides the level at which to apply the tool:
An overall process area or processing unit
Individual equipment items
Operations
team systematically reviews each item against the following
six screening factors:
1. task complexity
2. unit criticality
3. task frequency
4. novelty
5. design scope
6. known problems
for each factor, the team should agree a rating based on
consideration of the guide words
use the results as the basis for preparing the HFE Strategy
9
Stage I: HFE screening cont.…HFE Strategy:
summaries the key HFE risks, issues and opportunities
identified in the screening.
identify the HFE-specific standards or technical guidance to be
included in the project technical baseline
project HFE strategy for projects with major accident hazard
potential shall identify applicable activities from below -
1. Working Environment Health Risk Assessment (WEHRA)
2. Valve Criticality Analysis (VCA)
3. Vendor package screening
4. Task Requirements Analysis (TRA)
5. Human Machine Interface (HRI) requirements analysis
6. Control room requirements analysis
7. Control system and alarm management analysis
8. Safety critical task inventory
9. Critical task analysis
10. Human error ALARP demonstration.
10
Stage II: HFE design Analysis (DEFINE)
11
Stage III: HFE validation (EXECUTE)
12
Stage IV: support to start-up
Not more than one year after start-up, a meeting should be organized to review
