Human Factors and Organizational Safety in High-Risk Critical Industries

Advancing technologies and the changing demands on the design, organization, and operations of safety-critical work systems, and the people within these work systems requires continual inputs and iterative cycles in order to ensure optimized human performance, safety and system functioning. 

The Human Factors in Control (HFC) Canada Network is a knowledge sharing platform for stakeholders who have interests in these operations within the human factors context, with a particular focus on offshore and maritime sectors. Our aim is to engage together to share lessons learned and continue to advance knowledge to improve operational safety. We also welcome learnings from other relevant safety-critical domains such as aviation, road and rail transport, and other land-based operations.
