HFETAG - System Safety, Health Hazards, Survivability

...and now for another Human Factors Minute! Did you know the The Department of Defense Human Factors Engineering Technical Advisory Group is composed of 19 sub Technical Advisory Groups? One of those is the System Safety, Health Hazards, Survivability SubTAG The primary objective of this group to promote detailed interchange and coordination of technical information on system safety, health hazards, and survivability considerations in the development and application of human factors engineering to the Department of Defense lifecycle materiel system acquisition management process. The goal of the information interchange is to enhance total system performance, protect personnel from injuries and illnesses, and improve the ability of military personnel to survive during combat operations, operations other than war, and in hostile environments. The group also works to enhance working level coordination among personnel involved with human system integration issues pertaining to DoD research, development, and acquisition. This subgroup focuses on system safety, health hazards, and survivability consideration applications to developmental, fielded, and other military materiel systems. Since these issues and application responsibilities cover the full lifecycle military materiel acquisition management process, subgroup topical coverage also may span relevant issues, applications, lessons learned, and recommended future actions associated with the entire research, development, and acquisition process. Some of the common acquisition phases this subgroup focuses on include operation, control, maintenance, training, shipment and storage, and other activities having impacts on system safety, health hazards, and survivability. Ultimately, the subgroup investigates methods to improve human factors technology research, development, and application specific to system safety, health hazards, and survivability issues.
