Human Factors in Oil and Gas & other energy sectors

We have been supporting a major nuclear new build programme providing human factors assurance input to the Pre Construction Safety Report (PCSR) phase.  MBarron Consulting Ltd led on human factors assurance input in the areas of building utilities (HVAC, electrics, gas, lighting, UPS and water) and also Control Room Design & Enterprise Management System design.  We undertook a review of the building environment validating the design in areas such which included lighting, temperature, humidity, vibration and noise.  We also developed two key HFI reports as part of the overall PCSR submission.  These reports covered input to HAZID, FMEA, review of design documents, task and human error analysis, 3D model review and definition of safety actions and safety functional requirements. 

Our Director Matt Barron worked on the detailed design – Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management (EPCm) phase of a large Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) project. Matt provided human factors engineering services which included identifying operability and maintainability issues within the Computer Aided Design (CAD), conducting detailed ergonomics analysis in Plant Design Management System (PDMS), examining access and egress (stairs, ladders, emergency routes), equipment positioning (pipes, valves, hand wheels, levers and controls), maintenance clearances, reach envelopes, task design, lighting and controls and displays.

Matt worked integrally with the engineering teams providing day by day review and feedback on human factors engineering issues as the detailed design matured, and ensured best practice was followed.
