Based upon contributions to a conference held at Aston University Oct. 2, 1992, sponsored by the Ergonomics Society.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Focusing on the application of human factors and ergonomics in the design of alarm systems, this book brings together all the disparate areas in a single volume. The aim of the book is to present current human factor issues regarding alarm design in a variety of settings, such as industrial alarm systems in process industries, aviation, automobiles and intensive care. It argues that the severe shortcomings of alarm systems can be overcome through the use of human factors evaluation and design integration techniques.--Publisher description.
