Human Factors Toolkit

10/05/2019

RSSB’s human factors (HF) specialists have created a range of guidance, tools and services to help identify and manage a wide range of issues. The HF toolkit consists of seven topic areas that summarise the work we do to support the rail industry. Each topic area provides readers with a description that explains which tool will best support the work you do.
