    WOULD BE 5 STAR BUT HARD-COPY ILLUSTRATIONS are BLACK and WHITE
  

*by R***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014*

A practical overview of human factors in process plant operation. The book is readable by anyone interested in learning more on the topic - operators, management and engineers.The book is divided into 10 chapters as follows:1.  Introduction: historical overview of the human factors field,2.  Human Information Processing: covers event detection, memory, mental models, and how decisions are made.3.  Performance Shaping Factors: covers variables impacting operator performance.4.  System Demands/ Automation: covers how operator graphics, the control system and alarms place demands on the operator.5.  Workload and Staffing: reviews mental and physical workload and proper staffing levels for console and field operators during normal and upset operations.6.  Interface: reviews console layout and graphics design and structure. Hint-duplicating P&IDs and adding process data are not the best solution. For colors, less is more.7.  Operator selection and training: Describes desired skills, how to train, and training materials and tools.8.  Job and Organizational Design: Operator tasks, job rotation, team performance, and how consolidated control rooms change operator responsibilities.9.  Procedures/ Job Aids: Upset analysis, procedure organization, formatting, job aids (valve/ line labeling, manifold diagram, check lists, combinations of these aids).10. Conclusion: Excellent application of the human factor principles presented in the book to the 2005 BP-Texas City Chemical Safety Board report.Each chapter is summarized in a one-paragraph conclusion. The author also shares anecdotes from his 30-year career in applying human factors to process plants.I can't give the book 5 stars because ALL ILLUSTRATIONS are in BLACK and WHITE in the hard copy. Disappointing for a $100 book, since the author himself says "Why do we encode information, such as through the use of color? It increases the information transfer - more bits per square inch". [page 30]. The illustrations showing the best use of color for operator displays (especially Figure 2.3 "Stroop Word-Color Test.") are essentially meaningless without color. The author does note that "figures appear in color in the E-book edition of the book." [page xiii]. I don't see this information posted anywhere else.I recommend the e-book version to anyone interested in learning more about this increasingly popular field as it applies to process operations.

We operate a 24/7/365 Chemical Plant. The information contained in the book is very useful.
