Please post this to the FPTG forum. I tried to send it yesterday and not sure it got to the right place. In any event this is an update to replace the one I sent yesterday.
Hi all
I am working on creating a Wikipedia article re Forensic Human Factors and would appreciate your advice and contributions. I plan to define it as "the application of human factors science to identify and explain contributing causes of system failures". Forensic human factors is typically applied to incidences involving personal injury from automobile crashes or slips, trips and falls as well as to investigations into large-scale disasters that involve loss of life or damage to equipment and/or the environment. The principal focus is the role of the human element in the context of interface design, sociotechnical systems and environmental factors as they affect cognition, performance, reactions, decision-making and other behaviors.
There will be hyperlinks throughout. I am asking FPTG members to send me content to include in the article. This can include historical milestones, specific references, HFES group information, elaboration of topics, areas of application or anything else you think will help educate readers.
Please send me your suggestions
Thank you,
