Human Factors
Ergonomic Design and Risk Solutions
Atkins’ HF team offer integrated ergonomic solutions to optimise the design of systems, equipment and jobs, to improve operational safety, reliability, efficiency and effectiveness.
Having provided ergonomic solutions for 20 years, Atkins has extensive experience of working as part of multi-disciplinary teams delivering major projects across industries including rail, nuclear, oil & gas, process, highways & transport, emergency and security.
Our ergonomic approach aims to:
- Reduce costs by optimising staffing and getting design right first time
- Minimise the threat the person poses to the system
- Reduce the threat the system poses to the person
- Improve the usability of systems
- Ensure that the working environment’s design meets operational needs or optimises operational objectives
The potential for economic and safety loss is greatest when people control large systems such as centralised control rooms. Recognising this, Atkins provides a complete design service for these complex environments and has integrated control room design services within the ergonomics team. This means we are able to deliver engineered detailed design rather than mere concepts, leading to a right first time product which reduces cost and time to delivery.
