IEEE Standards Seminars...
Keeping you competitive in nuclear power engineering.

HUMAN FACTORS ENGINEERING at
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATING STATIONS
An Intensive 2-Day
IEEE Standards Seminar

April 22-23,1991      Denver,CO

(Register Early...Call 1-800-678-IEEE and ask for Standards Seminars)

This seminar has been developed to familiarize nuclear plant designers,
engineers, and systems management with the concepts, terms, issues, and
significant benefits relating to Human Factors Engineering (HFE). The training
this course provides enables attendees to recognize human factors problems
early on and to apply the HFE approach to minimize and prevent human error and
maximize plant safety at nuclear power facilities.  Comprised of a series of
creative and informative lectures and workshops, this specialized course will
demonstrate how human factors principles can reduce your operating, training
and maintenance costs as it emphasizes task integration, task analysis and HFE
environmental concerns.  In accordance with the IEEE standard upon which this
nuclear power seminar is based, this course provides the most reliable and
current information available today on HFE for the nuclear power community.

In this seminar, you'll learn about:

Human Factors Engineering (HFE) terms and concepts and their impact on plant
safety
- Human Error
- Work Environment
- Human Reliability
- Fatigue vs Motivation
- Display Concepts
HFE Design Criteria
- Environmental
- Control and Display
- Work Space
- Reaction Times
- Existing vs New Criteria
HFE's Emphasis on Task Integration
- Operations
- Engineering
- Costs and Scheduling
HFE Training Requirements
Task Analysis
- What it is, how it's performed, why it's necessary
Environmental Concerns related to HFE
- Lighting
- Temperature
- Radiation
- Work space
_ Work Load
HFE Problem-solving and Evaluation Techniques

When you return on the job, you'll be able to:

- Understand and apply human factors concepts to your nuclear engineering
environment
- Introduce HFE concerns early in a program and save costly expenditures
incurred later
- Identify error/fatigue-causing situations before equipment design and
implementation
- Recognize and respond to the effects of environmental factors early in a
project to reduce human error potential before accidents occur
- Exercise HFE principals that will help nuclear plants and facilities avoid
REAL problems

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Nuclear Power Engineers
Systems Managers
Power Plant Design Consultants
Project Leaders
Nuclear Power Plant Management
Systems Engineers
