“…Possibility of testing the human–machine system in the virtual environment limits the costs of such studies and is much safer to perform. Also Luquetti dos Santos et al [ 11 ] indicated that VR can be successfully used in designing a nuclear control desk. According to Luquetti dos Santos et al, human factor issues in designing nuclear control desks can be verified by experts using virtual models.…”

This article describes a method of adapting workstations for workers with motion disability using computer simulation and virtual reality (VR) techniques. A workstation for grinding spring faces was used as an example. It was adjusted for two people with a disabled right upper extremity. The study had two stages. In the first, a computer human model with a visualization of maximal arm reach and preferred workspace was used to develop a preliminary modification of a virtual workstation. In the second stage, an immersive VR environment was used to assess the virtual workstation and to add further modifications. All modifications were assessed by measuring the efficiency of work and the number of movements involved. The results of the study showed that a computer simulation could be used to determine whether a worker with a disability could access all important areas of a workstation and to propose necessary modifications.

“…Studies in which user involvement concentrated on the evaluation were reported by dos Santos et al (dos Santos et al, 2009), Hwang et al (Hwang et al, 2009), and Rajala and Väyrynen (Rajala & Väyrynen, 2011). Dos Santos et al (dos Santos et al, 2009) report on another study relevant in the context of nuclear installations and design of control room systems. Even though the focus in this study is more on the evaluation than the design of equipment, it was carried out through a participatory ergonomics approach.…”

“…After the accident at TMI, a critical review of plant design in several countries, with respect to the control room, was conducted by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Human Factors was considered in a much broader sense and a chapter 18 was included in the Final Safety Analysis Report (FSAR) of the nuclear power plants, addressing Human Factors engineering (HFE) issues (Luquetti dos Santos et al, 2009). However, the Human Factors by this time of TMI accident was mistaken understood just as the individual factors, it means, the individual issues of the workers.…”

The Evolution of Technology in the workplace in the O&G industry carry this segment to a present dilemma, where in given situations, there is so much complexity that the system operability became quite complex too. In this context, the traditional ways to promote safety -regulations and procedures -can't deal with the demands from these complex system -like an offshore oil rig. Understand the evolution of these activities, and the increase of its complexity, can develop an adequate manner of perceive the interaction between the equipment, environment, organization and workers, especially with regard risks and safety issues to prevent losses. Thus, the natural step to keep up with this is to understand the Human Factors and related Non-Technical Skills that are integrated with these systems, forming the modern sociotechnical complex system. In this evolved Safety-II approach, the FRAM (Functional Resonance Analysis Method) appears as an adequate methodology to recognize and analyse, seeking to promote safety and productivity.
