Gas mapping is the study and optimisation of toxic/flammable gas detectors to meet set coverage targets.Continue Reading

Gas detectors are required where there is potential for flammable or toxic gas releases to occur.Continue Reading

The objective of the study is to assess the adequacy of the fire and gas detection system based on international codes and standards. The assessment considers the material properties, redundancy provided by the F&G detectors as well as blocking of the line of sight. Where deemed necessary, suitable practicable recommendations will be made to improve...Continue Reading

The Fire & Gas Detection Layout is a plant layout with the number and position of fire and/or gas detectors available on site.Continue Reading

Human factor management aims to ensure that the work procedures and policies of the organisation are compatible with human capabilities, that training is sufficient, that the workforce is competent, and there is enough spare capacity to deal with emergency situations.Continue Reading

Human failures are not random events but are shaped by factors, either more immediate factors (such as working conditions – high workload, in a stressful or emergency situation) or more latent factors (such as managerial behaviour, company culture, etc.). We cannot change the human condition, we can only change the conditions (the factors that shape...Continue Reading

Human factors studies factors that shape performance, such as performance shaping factors/performance influencing factors; error producing conditions, and violation producing conditions in which humans work to make human failures less likelyContinue Reading

Human Factors Engineering (HFE) is the application of human factors knowledge to the design and construction of equipment, products, work systems, management systems and tasks.Continue Reading

By understanding the working environment, user task demands as well as work constraints, work systems can be designed and/or improved in such a way to optimise human contribution to production and minimises the potential for design-induced risks to health, personal, process safety or environmental performance.Continue Reading

Human Factors Engineers work in an industry/ office where human factors elements are required.Continue Reading
