Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences
After completing the course, the student will
- understand the impact of human factors reliability on the risk system safety,
- will be able to distinguish priorities and use tools to increase operational safety, - after further training also work in the field of the company safety management system, or in the governmental authorities.

Summary
The Human Factor (HF) course is designed primarily to help students understand the role of man in a man-made system. It consists not only of the technological part (technical factor), but also of the people who design, operate and maintain the system (human factor). After a long period of development of man-made systems, in the event of their failure, only the reliability (safety) of technologies was addressed, while human performance and reliability were addressed only marginally. This course aims to introduce students to the importance of human factor and failure of human resources in terms of efficiency and especially the safety of man-made systems, where direct failure of human factor currently contributes to about the causes of system failure (incidents, accidents). As part of the study of this course, students will gain knowledge about important aspects of human performance and reliability, the main sources of human failure and especially measures that can permanently reduce the risk of human failure to an acceptable level due to the expected consequences.
