Fleger, Stephen A. and McWilliams, Michael R. (1995): Control Room Human Factors Assessment at a Bulgarian Nuclear Power Plant. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 1043-1047.

“This paper presents the results of a preliminary assessment of human factors concerns associated with the six reactor control rooms at the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant in Bulgaria. This initiative was sponsored by the Committee of Energy, Bulgaria, as part of a multi-faceted project that examined emergency operating procedures, training, and risk-based maintenance practices at Kozloduy. The goal of the study was to determine the overall adequacy of the interfaces, from a human error prevention perspective, between operator and plant processes as found in the control rooms, and if warranted, to develop a program plan for conducting subsequent detailed control room design reviews. The need for this study was stimulated in part by a report prepared by the International Atomic Energy Agency which found that WWER-440 model 230 reactor control rooms were in urgent need of human factors attention. This paper summarizes the findings from the human factors portion of the study, and discusses potential concerns associated with applying U.S. developed human factors engineering criteria to an eastern European nuclear power plant.”

Heasly, Christopher C., Perse, Randy M., Malone, Thomas B. and Fleger, Stephen A. (1989): Riding Mower Control Placement Guideline Development. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 33rd Annual Meeting 1989. pp. 474-478.

“Accident investigations and subsequent hazard analysis studies of power mower accidents conducted by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), indicated that the current version of the American National Standard for Turf Care -- Equipment Power Lawn Mowers, Lawn and Garden Tractors, and Lawn Tractors -- Safety Specifications (ANSI/OPEI B71.1-l986) might benefit from review and/or revision. The analyses indicated control activation, placement and/or operation may have contributed to a number of the accidents reviewed. Accordingly, special emphasis was to be focused on review of Part 111: Ride-On Mowers, Lawn Tractors, and Lawn and Garden Tractors, paragraph 13., Controls. This paper describes the approach utilized in development of the inputs to update ANSI/OPEI B71.1-1086. Additionally, the paper describes a brief overview of the voluntary standard review/acceptance process.”

Permenter, Kathryn E., Fleger, Stephen A. and Malone, Thomas B. (1987): Advanced Human Factors Engineering Tool Technologies. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 31st Annual Meeting 1987. pp. 345-349.

“This paper presents the results of a study to identify the human factors engineering (HFE) technologies or tools presently used, and projected for use, by HFE specialists. Both traditional and advanced tools were candidates for inclusion in the study, although emphasis of the study was placed on advanced computer applications. Human factors practitioners representing the government, academia and private industry were surveyed to identify those tools most frequently used or viewed as most important for conducting HFE related work. If advanced tool capabilities did not meet existing job requirements, the specialists identified the types of tools they would like to see developed to fill the existing technology gaps. To facilitate the inclusion of new technologies as they become available, and to aid in the search and retrieval of a tool's capabilities, information obtained on the tools was entered into a database. The survey resulted in the identification of 88 advanced tools. The results of the study suggest that although a large number of tools presently exist that are capable of supporting human factors specialists in their profession, the HFE community needs additional tools, especially those configured to run on a desktop microcomputer. Future emphasis in tool development should focus on expert systems, human factors database compendiums, computer-assisted design (CAD) applications, workload prediction tools, and automated task analysis programs.”
