ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book focuses on the analysis of injury cases from a Human Factors and Ergonomics (HFE) perspective. The HFE approach focuses on the person–machine interface in environments doing tasks. And it incorporates consideration of people's abilities and limitations and how they could affect product use and safety. The book offers an introduction to hazard analysis and hazard control, and the communication-human information processing (C-HIP) model. It explores the C-HIP model was described as a way to organize and put structure into the processing of safety communications, such as warnings. C-HIP model can organize and pin point breakdowns in perceptual and cognitive processing. The book analyzes injury events after-the-fact but as many of the case studies indicate there is usually some history of the event having occurred before.
