Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
The Human Factor alias The Human Factor (various sources use both of these Czech terms) is a term that addresses the role of a person within a functional system. Thus, as we recognize the performance and reliability of the technical part of the technical agent system), we recognize the performance and reliability of the human part of the system (the human factor). After a very long period of development, man-made systems mainly addressed the performance and reliability of technology, while the performance and reliability of man was solved only marginally. This subject aims at introducing to students of doctoral study the importance of human performance and the failure of a human factor in the efficiency and reliability of man-made systems where the direct failure of a human agent currently represents at least three quarters of all failures. Students will learn about important aspects of human performance, the main sources of human factor failure and, above all, measures that can reduce the risk of unwanted consequences of these failures in industrial safety.

Summary
Basic knowledge about the human factor and its failure, which are the most important cause of adverse events in industrial safety. Number of events are broadly characterized, from simple accidents up to major industrial accidents with far-reaching consequences. Many of these industrial accidents have an impact not only on the interior of the company, but also on the surroundings of the plant and its population (accidents with chemical substances, accidents at nuclear facilities, etc.). The study will deal with, among other things: The method of assessing the impact of HF
Error theories (identification of errors and their causes, methodology, probability of HF error), reliability of HF and methods of evaluation of factors influencing the reliability of HF in complex work systems, personality determinants as a basis for the reliability of human performance, ergonomics as a science of man in work systems,
task analyzes, hierarchical models of causality of industrial accidents, risk factors of industry, motivational approaches to optimize LF performance.
