Abstract
This paper outlines a case study of the Human Factors (HF) work that was undertaken for a pyrotechnics and energetics manufacturer. The work involved an initial HF review of the chemicals receipt, storage and transfer processes at the facility, followed by a more detailed assessment of workload for Team Leaders (TLs). The paper describes the application of HF techniques in a unique setting and the learning and changes that were taken forwards as a result.
