Book excerpt: The life cycle of a power plant involves many complex phases, each requiring attention to the specific human factors (hf) issues relevant to various project personnel (e.g. operators, maintainers, construction, commissioning + decommissioning personnel). it also includes an ongoing process of change as technology evolves, as new requirements emerge, and as experience reveals new challenges and opportunities to maintain or improve performance. in order to meet these wide ranging and ongoing requirments, a comprehensive, but flexible program is needed that is established and committed to early in the course of any project or any change during the life of the plant. such an approach has been developed in the form of this human factors engineering program plan (hfepp) development guide. the hfepp concept was developed for military applications and is a well established approach in that domain. there is growing awareness now in the power industry, both within canada and abroad, of the potential for human performance improvements through an hfepp. for ontario hydro, there is ample evidence of the scope for improvements from several sources: the significant event reports (sers) from nuclear stations, the recent decline in worker safety record, the recurring recommendations from external reviews such as the recent hare commission and osart (and others before them) and increasing emphasis on human performance by the atomic energy control board (aecb). the regulatory context for work relating to nuclear stations provides a special incentive. it is clear that the aecb will soon require more thoroughly documented and auditable efforts in the area of hf than in the past. a regulatory policy statement requiring much broader and better documented hf than ever before is expected soon. in addition the aecb has let several contracts to external hf consultants in recent years, and is expanding it's hf staff.
