The nationally recognised competency requirements for tyre servicing do not adequately address the human factors required in handling off-the-road mining equipment tyres and rims.  This project described a human factors approach to elicit knowledge from domain experts on tyre handling scenarios with fatal hazard exposures.  Impact of the interactive, digital, scenario based educational modules on a group of field based tyre technicians was evaluated at two mine sites.

The project was undertaken in 2 stages, with outcomes described within each stage against the following objectives:

Stage 1 describes a human factors approach to elicit knowledge from domain based subject matter experts, to better understand the system of tyre handling, and to translate the known fatality hazards in educational modules that support training to tyre technicians or system designers in accessible ways.

Stage 1 objectives:

  • Gain rich insight into the critical learning requirements (i.e., what does someone need to know and do) to manage safe and productive tyre handling operations with a focus on mitigating credible fatal consequences.
  • Use human factors findings to inform the instructional design and development of high-fidelity training content with 15 - 20 learning experiences about safety-critical tyre maintenance activities per an Interactive Product Viewer.
  • Determine the utility and impact of interactive hazard education material about tyre handling equipment use and its Required Operating States, Credible Failure Modes, and Business Inputs within a Control Framework.

Stage 2 describes human factors approaches to participate in and test the design of interactive, animated hazard education content on OTR tyre handling with field technicians. It also describes the exploration on the use of visual remote guidance head-mounted, hands-free technologies in OTR tyre handling applications.

Stage 2 objectives:

  • Validate and expand the industry library of scenario-based videos and digital formative learning modules depicting fatal hazards and causational pathways in OTR tyre handling.
  • Determine use-case applications of visual remote guidance in OTR tyre handling, supporting people and work processes.
  • Evaluate the conceptual understanding of fatal hazards and causational pathways in OTR tyre handling among a focus group of tyre technicians trialling interactive, animated, scenario-based, digital hazard education modules.
