Human Factors and Functional Safety Analysis in Designing the Control Rooms of Industrial Hazardous Plants

In this work some aspects of human factors and functional safety analysis in designing the control rooms of industrial hazardous plants are presented. The “defence in depth” (D-in-D) concept is outlined. Some designing issues of the alarm system (AS) with regard to human factors to be supported using the human reliability analysis (HRA) are discussed. The AS and decision support system (DSS), when properly designed, would contribute to decreasing the human error probability (HEP) in various abnormal situations of the plant. The aim of research undertaken is to develop the methods and software tools consisting of the risk models and probabilistic models with relevant data and knowledge bases for computer aided assessment of human factors in performing HRA as well as optimizing the architectures of safety-related systems.
