Abstract
The performance of operators and maintainers can be affected in a number of ways by the design and implementation of software-based systems. This arti cle outlines relevant requirements within IEC 61508 and the practical steps that can be taken to address human factors during the design process. Outs tanding issues are also discussed that are currently being studied to provi de relevant guidance.
