The Energy Institute has developed the "Human and Organisational Factors (HOF)" briefing notes primarily for the petroleum and allied industries, although they are of general relevance and interest - see http://www.energyinst.org.uk/humanfactors/bn. Each two- to three-page leaflet: commences with a definition; provides case studies, checklists and references; and explores solutions to address the issue. Of particular interest to supervisors and managers of major hazard installations, they provide a first step in raising awareness and guiding users to further information.
