HFESTG - Forensics Human Factors Minute

...and now for another Human Factors Minute!
Members of the Forensics Professional Group are interested in all aspects of human
factors as applied to litigation matters, both civil and criminal.

FPGs goal is to bring ergonomic data and approaches to the investigation of losses
influenced by design or by human limitations. Arguments may be presented on the
degree to which a design meets current standards and known limitations and
capabilities of the prospective users. The features and provisions for safety, instructions,
and foreseeable misuses are also examined.


The role of the expert witness in the judicial process differs from that of the ordinary
witness in that an expert may give opinion testimony based on specialized
knowledge and training, while a ordinary witness is restricted to specific information
experienced or observed concerning the event under consideration. Anyone with
knowledge in an area of practice well beyond that likely in a jury member may be
declared by the Court to be an expert witness. However, an expert’s credentials are often
important to judges and juries in their evaluation of whether the witness is qualified as
an expert.

Human factors/ergonomics professionals are often uniquely qualified to evaluate the
interactions of people with machines and procedures. They are well prepared to apply
the scientific data on operator performance in practical operating settings.
