The aim of this presentation is twofold: first, to present the field of psychology including its research methods and, second, to show on an example how psychology can be used in material research. The example is of the study of human factors in non-destructive testing (NDT), in which the author has more than 10 years of experience. The conclusion is that psychological methods can be used to identify human-related problems during different tasks and to generate mitigation strategies that can be used to decrease human error and enhance safety.
The aim of this presentation is to highlight how psychology can be used to prevent human error. It starts with examples of accidents, incidents and events that have happened due to too little attention being dedicated to human factors. It continues arguing that human factors are one of the main factors influencing the reliability of non-destructive testing and gives definitions of the main terms. Furthermore, it presents a method used to identify risks in mechanized NDT to be used for the purposes of the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel and presents a study, in which human-centred design and eye tracking have been used to optimism the inspection procedure. The conclusion is that human factors methods can be used to identify problems during the inspection process and generate mitigation strategies that can be used to decrease human error and enhance safety.
