Program Overview
​In this insightful webinar, we explored the critical role of Neuroergonomics—the science of understanding human brain function in relation to work environments—and its direct impact on safety, performance, and employee well-being.
Our focus centered on managing cognitive load in high-risk industries, where mental demands are high and the consequences of errors can be severe. The discussion emphasized how excessive cognitive strain often leads to mistakes, stress, and even burnout, especially when overlooked by health, safety, and environment (HSE) professionals.
Key Takeaways
Cognitive Load Matters
When mental demands exceed a person’s capacity, performance drops. Managing this effectively is essential for a safer, more efficient workplace.
​
Assessment Tools in Action
We explored proven tools such as:
o Cognitive load measurement
o Error rate analysis
o Employee feedback systems These provide actionable insights to optimize both mental and operational performance.
​
Challenges in Implementation
Resistance to change and the tendency to shift responsibility remain significant barriers. Recognizing and addressing these issues is key to progress.
​
Designing Intuitive Workspaces
Neuroergonomics offers a practical framework to align human capabilities with operational demands, resulting in environments that support focus, reduce errors, and enhance safety.
​
This webinar serves as a call to action for industry leaders and safety professionals: a safer future begins with understanding the psychology applications at work.
