Human factors engineering (HFE) is about making it easy for people to do things right and difficult for them to do things wrong. Major accidents have highlighted the importance of addressing this aspect of performance, e.g. wrong operator response, slow response and incorrect diagnosis.
There is increasing emphasis on the importance of managing human factors to achieve improved safety in process industries.
This is a multidisciplinary science that focuses on:
Interactions between humans and the work system
Designing human–machine interactions that optimise human and system performance

Conceptual model
Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) is Singapore’s University of Applied Learning, offering applied degree programmes targeted at growth sectors of the economy. With a mission to nurture and develop individuals who impact society in meaningful ways, SIT aims to be a leader in innovative learning by integrating learning, industry, and community.
The university’s unique pedagogy integrates work and study by incorporating applied research for students to work on real industry problems and creating solutions that meet industry needs. SIT also advocates the work-learn continuum, which places an emphasis on upskilling and lifelong learning.
Spread across six campuses, and partnered with nine reputable overseas universities, SIT offers a curriculum that blends innovation and expertise with applied research and practical experience.
Mission
To maximise the potential of our learners and to innovate with industry, through an integrated applied learning and research approach, so as to contribute to the economy and society.
Vision
SIT in 2024 is envisioned to be a key university in Singapore that lives and breathes industry, with its students and alumni (collectively called SITizens) being thinking tinkerers, lifelong learners and catalysts for transformation who care for the community and stay connected to SIT and their fellow SITizens
Accidents do not just happen - they are a result of serious flaws in safety management that have been neglected and insufficiently dealt with. When an industrial accident occurs, not only the victims but their families, companies and management suffer as well.
The SSG WSQ Perform Work in Confined Space Operation (PWICSO) is one of the core units in all process sectors of Process Industry.
The Generic Manufacturing Skills (GMS) WSQ framework aims to raise the professionalism of the workforce. This Competency Unit aims to equip the knowledge and skills in planning, supervising, assessing and managing of work at height.
Delegates will learn to consider when there can be alternatives to manual handling by planning before acting. Where manual handling in a wind turbine environment is unavoidable, we will teach and demonstrate the correct methods which aim to prevent injury as a result of lifting.
