Human factors engineering, a subject of great interest in recent years, involves knowledge from psychology, management, design, training, education, and other subjects. It is an important factor affecting the safety of complex human-machine systems. Complex systems consist of many interacting elements and are those systems that are inherently difficult to model directly; living systems and social systems are all complex systems. A growing number of studies have shown that the implementation of human factors assessment can effectively identify harmful risks in complex human-machine systems and thus improve system safety. As the field of human factors engineering has flourished, the number of human factors engineering methods has shown an incremental trend, such as exploring and applying information related to human behavior in complex systems through training in statistical and experimental design from a psychological perspective. The impact of human error on the enterprise safety production system is increasing, and the psychological factor is one of the most important factors influencing the stability of human operations, so the analysis of human error and its prevention from the perspective of psychology also has great theoretical and practical significance.
Based on the importance of the psychological aspect of research on human factors engineering and safety management, we urgently need research such as human factors analysis in complex systems to improve the safety and efficiency of complex industrial systems from a psychological perspective by incorporating human factors and their practical problems into engineering design, construction, and operation management. Therefore, this research topic welcomes submission of research papers and reviews from various research fields such as human factors engineering, system reliability, and safety science to exchange ideas and information about human factors engineering and safety management.
Research papers can be written in the following directions including but not limited to:
• Analysis of human factors in complex systems, such as fatigue, emotions, etc. on accident occurrence studies.
• Studies on the characteristics of workplace accident perpetrators: studies on the relationship between demographic indicators such as age, gender, work experience, etc., and human error and accident occurrence.
• Studies on psychological countermeasures aimed at preventing or reducing human error, such as occupational suitability studies (selection of practitioners), mechanical design and manufacturing in line with safety ergonomics, studies on the status or improvement of safety education and safety promotion, etc.
