Physiological Human Elements

The physiological human element in the context of work performance and safety refers to how our bodies' biological processes impact our ability to work effectively and safely and vice versa. This includes understanding how factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and physical health affect our concentration, reaction times, and overall job performance.

 

By studying these elements, we can identify ways to improve workplace safety and efficiency, such as optimising work schedules, designing better workspaces, and implementing health and wellness programs.

 

Understanding these physiological factors helps ensure that workers can perform their tasks effectively with sustainable optimum performance, while minimising the risk of errors and accidents.
