As Scandinavia's oldest independent human factors consultancy, we add value by systematically involving end-users in projects. Our consultants enable projects to be efficient, meet regulatory requirements while maximising usability and safety. HFS can assist in innovation and product development projects by providing human factors knowledge, analyses and design skills. It is our strong belief that products will only be successful if they meet the need of their users - which is exactly what human factors is about. Concepts, drawings, sketches? Included. Do we know something about "inclusive design"? Absolutely. NORSOK requirements? We took part in writing them.
