- Authors
Anfield, John
- Abstract
This paper explores the subject of Human Factors (HF) and argues that proven, error reduction methods used in "safety critical" industries including Aerospace, Nuclear and Medicine can migrate into mainstream business and offer considerable business performance gains. The methods used fit well with the values and ethics of the O.D. profession, and suggests how business leaders, O.D. practitioners and academics, can gain more knowledge about this important subject.
