Human factors, also known as "human factors". It refers to studying the influence and role of people in it from the systematic point of view of "man-machine-environment". "Man-made" is relative to "nature". In today's world, there are both natural and artificial worlds, because almost everything around us is engraved with human traces. There are safety problems in industrial and agricultural production and transportation.

Historically, technical factors such as imperfect aviation technology, unreliable aircraft equipment and work errors were the main reasons for flight accidents 50 years ago. Nowadays, due to the rapid development of aviation technology, the functional completeness and reliability of aircraft equipment have undergone qualitative changes.

Human factors If we use a systematic method to analyze the problem of safety in production, we must start with the three elements of "man-machine-environment", in which "man" refers to the human factors that affect safety in production. For example, in the air transport industry, the causes of flight accidents are called factors, which include people, planes and the environment.

The "people" here not only refers to the pilots, but also includes all the people involved in the operation of the aircraft, such as pilots, crew members, air traffic controllers, weather forecasters and so on.
