AcuTech to Present Human Factors Paper at CCPS Conference
 
AcuTech Consulting Groups President and CEO, David A. Moore, will present a paper titled Integrating a Human Factors Approach into Process Safety Management Systems at the upcoming CCPS Conference in Toronto, Canada.

The paper presents a format for a management systems approach that can be introduced into an existing PSM structure. The successful introduction of this approach at an oil refinery is discussed. The basis of the approach is to assimilate human factors into the day-to-day activities of the organization, to provide a culture change and paradigm shift on the issue. Without this fundamental change, a human factors program tends to become a project rather than a process. The initiative is intended to enhance the PSM system, and to ensure it is focused on key human factors elements not explicitly mentioned in the regulations.

Check back after the conference for a full version of the paper.
