HFC - Human Factors in Control

Welcome to Human Factors in Control

HFC - Human Factors in Control is a professional network for people working with human factors (HF - Human Factors), see our leaflet. HF areas are organizational factors, cognitive factors, and physical ergonomics.

We arrange two meetings every year in addition to contributing to the development of HF standards. Through HFC it is possible to maintain the HF checklist/method CRIOP, see the CRIOP brochure.

We also arrange courses within human factors together with other institutions. Examples of Human factors, in selective attention test. We also have connection to and discussions for them related to the research area human factors. We are connected to the Human Factor and Ergonomics Society via HFES Europe Chapter and the HFES Nordic.
