Ergonomie is a leading expert in applying Human Factors and ergonomics expertise to the design of control rooms.
From transport networks to energy facilities, Ergonomie is experienced in integrating Human Factors to all phases of the control room lifecycle to optimise their design and operational capability.
Good control room design is vital in minimising and mitigating human error risk. Failure to consider these factors can result in disastrous consequences for safety critical industries. Well-designed control rooms also improve the efficiency, productivity and safety of control room operators.
Ergonomie has a detailed knowledge of control room standards such as ISO 11064 and is experienced in integrating them into all aspects of control room design.
We have a detailed understanding of the constraints imposed by human capabilities and behaviour on engineering solutions that impact on the efficient and safe operation of any control room.
By evaluating the physical workspace, task demands, and subsequent cognitive and organisational systems, we provide a thorough assessment that addresses all relevant control room issues.
