Petra Boeree, senior human factors specialist

 

Human Factors Specialists Yvonne Limpens and Petra Boeree present this month’s HFR&D webinar, “Considerations for Scaling and Conducting Use-Related Risk Analyses Effectively”.

Learning objectives:
  • How to recognize appropriately scaled URRAs.
  • Various considerations, e.g., granularity, that aid in conducting URRAs effectively.
  • How to effectively scale and conduct your own device-specific URRAs.

Importantly, the presenters share their insights on various considerations — e.g., device-specific vs. device-agnostic risks, repetitive functionality and granularity — that can then serve to accelerate URRA efforts and avoid time-consuming rework.
