This book provides an experience-based methodological framework for risk management in design and development of life-critical systems. It will be an ideal reference text for graduate students and professionals working in the fields of occupational health and safety, ergonomics, and human factors, and cognitive engineering.
Most approaches that contribute to the design of life-critical systems almost only consider nominal situations where procedures can be developed and used to achieve satisfactory operations. These kinds of approaches lead to rigid ways of doing things and poorly address the needs for flexibility, especially when things go wrong. It is not a matter of human adaptation but of human systems integration (HSI) flexibility. HSI flexibility requires cross-fertilization of appropriate experiences combined with creativity. This book provides risk-management approaches and methods for combining prevention and design.

Features:



Discusses risk-management approaches and methods for combining prevention and design
Examines a transdisciplinary approach to risk management in design and operations of safer life-critical systems
Proposes an approach of work analysis during design, which enables design teams to consider HSI issues early enough to fix organizational problems upstream
Teaches the combination of prevention and design for safety management

This book gathers and analyzes relevant field data to rationalize human and systems activity in various life-critical environments and workplaces, in a systemic manner, and in a variety of safety domains (e.g., aviation, road, navy, manufacturing, hospital, transportation, defense, sport). It further formalizes and analyzes risk-taking experience, expertise, stories about critical events, and scientific and professional literature data to help engineering designers, managers, and health and safety specialists.

The text is primarily written for graduate students and professionals working in the fields of occupational health and safety, ergonomics, human factors, cognitive engineering, and human-system integration.

Guy André Boy, Ph.D., is a Scientist and Engineer, Fellow of INCOSE and the Air and Space Academy. He is University Professor at CentraleSupélec (Paris Saclay University) and ESTIA Institute of Technology. He was Chief Scientist for Human-Centered Design at NASA Kennedy Space Center, University Professor and Dean at Florida Institute of Technology, where he created the Human-Centered Design Institute. He was Senior Research Scientist at Florida Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, and former President and CEO of the European Institute of Cognitive Sciences and Engineering (EURISCO), France Edwige Quillerou, Ph.D., is an Occupational Psychologist and Health & Safety Scientist at INRS, the French National Research and Safety Institute for Prevention of Occupational Accidents and Diseases. She contributes to both research and field interventions in a variety of design and work organization projects. Edwige is involved in interdisciplinary collaborations with researchers in the human and social sciences as well as engineers with a view to improving the organization of prevention with respect to occupational risks through improved engineering design. She is a member of IEA (International Ergonomics Association) and INCOSE (International Council on Systems Engineering).
