Man vs Machine: The Evolution of Human Operators in Process Safety

In fact, if the working environment is designed ergonomically, to suit both human bodies and human brains, the synergy between machines and their human counterparts can lead to minimal vulnerability in plants and processes.
Given the respective advantages and disadvantages of human beings and Automated Control Systems (ACS) as operators in industrial plants, it makes sense to attempt to get the best of both worlds.
