Julie Bell
Director and Human Factors Expert
Working for the Health and Safety Executive, I have carried out research, policy, investigation, expert witness, and operational work in most Human Factors areas. I am recognised internationally for my work in Quantified Human Reliability Assessment and Fatigue Risk Management. I am the co-author of the updated and revised Human Error Assessment & Reduction Technique (HEART+). I have trained people in its use as well as helping organisations quantify human reliability as part of their risk assessment. I carried out the 2022 revision of the COMAH Competent Authority’s Human Factors Operational Delivery Guide, the standard against which HSE’s regulators inspect Human Factors on Major Hazard establishments.

Pippa Brockington
Director and Human Factors Expert
I am the original creator of the COMAH Competent Authority’s Human Factors Operational Delivery Guide (2016). I produced the Human Factors Technical Assessment Guidance in the HSE’s Safety Report Assessment Manual (2015). I created and delivered Human Factors training for all HSE Health and Safety Inspectors, including the Human Factors in Major Hazards course for COMAH Competent Authority Inspectors. For 12 years, I managed and trained HSE's Human Factors specialist teams. Over the years, I have applied Human Factors in every industry you can think of, from Farming to Offshore, but specialising in onshore major hazards.
