ABSTRACT

Forensic human factors/ergonomics (HF/E) can be defined as the application of the science of HF/E to situations in the legal setting. Similar to traditional HF/E applications and systems design, the human has the central role and important factors of analysis include human performance capabilities and limitations resulting in human error. All that is unique to the practice of forensic HF/E is its application to legal issues, as opposed to other systems.
