Briefing Note No. 1

Energy Institute Briefing Note No. 1 - Introduction

Understanding how human factors (HF) influence human performance is increasingly important as a management aid. There are many reference books and websites concerned with HF and, although the terms are in common use in industry, it can be difficult to easily find out what a particular HF issue is really about.

The Energy Institute (EI) briefing notes provide a useful introduction to each HF subject and refer to the role of managers in organising tasks and work conditions.
