10.5.1 Human Factors
Human Factors Engineering (HFE) is the process of designing a facility for human use.
The intent is to improve the interface between personnel and the systems they operate
thereby improving operating performance as well as reducing the likelihood of human
error.
Human factors shall be accounted for in the design of facilities and selection of
equipment requiring human interaction or intervention for construction, commissioning,
operation and maintenance activities.
Areas for particular analysis shall be control rooms, control panels, switchgear rooms
and vendor packaged equipment.

2020
The following HFE objectives shall be accounted for in the design of the facilities:
 Operability: To ensure that all operable components, including valves,
instruments, controls and displays, can be viewed, reached, and operated
effectively and safely by the expected working population;
 Maintainability: To ensure that safe and efficient removal of equipment
requiring maintenance;
 Access and Egress: To ensure that all areas of the facilities including
equipment packages can be accessed and evacuated safely and efficiently
under normal and emergency conditions;
 Materials Handling: To ensure that requirements for lifting/lowering, holding
and moving of equipment manually and mechanically have been addressed
with due consideration for safety and the bio-mechanical and physiological
capabilities of the expected working population;
 Environmental Factors: To ensure environmental aspects applicable to
human health, safety and performance including noise, lighting, vibration,
climatic conditions and proximity to hot, cold, hazardous and contaminated
equipment or areas have been addressed;
 Constructability: To ensure the efficiency and safety of construction

operations.
10.6 Telecommunication
For building’s telecommunication requirements, refer to Telecom Design Basis document

no. 10481-BCL-AKSX-TE-REP-0001.

Appendix 1 Building Code
The basic format for building code shall be as follows:
aaa-bbb-cccdd
Where:
aaa = A three-digit numeric group that defines the Facility/Location Code. Refer to Tag
Numbering Philosophy 10481-BCL-AKSX-PR-PHL-0002
bbb = A three-digit numeric group that defines the Unit/Area Code. Refer to Table 21
below.
ccc = A two or three alpha character that defines the Building Code, as defined in Table
2 below.
dd = A two-digit code (commencing 01) indicating the unique identification number for
that type of building in the system.
