Human Factor Engineering

Human Factors Engineering is the study of designing tools, systems, and environments to align with human abilities and limitations. Its goal is to improve safety, efficiency, and comfort by ensuring that products and workplaces are intuitive and reduce the likelihood of error or injury. This involves understanding how people perceive, process, and act on information, and applying that knowledge to create designs that optimize performance and well-being. Essentially, it’s about making sure that systems work well for the people who use them, enhancing overall effectiveness and safety.
