Neil
Human Factors Assessor

“As a Human Factors Assessor at Sellafield, each day is varied. I could be confirming that the design of equipment provides operators with the controls and information needed to conduct the task. Another day could be discussing the feasibility of safety important actions that have been developed to protect against a high consequence fault. And of course, there are days spent developing and delivering HF reports that demonstrate human factors integration into the design and safety case support reliable human performance.”
