| Popis: | Each year, millions of people are injured in the work place. Preventing injuries and thus protecting the health of people working in extremely dangerous contexts is of paramount importance. Outer Space is the environment that presents the most life-threatening challenges for human life: Radiation, absence of pressure and oxygen, difference of gravity, confinement are some of the conditions that strongly affect safety. Knowing how these elements affect humans and how to deal with them is very important for the success of Space missions as well as for facing other extreme challenges on Earth. For these reasons, the simulation of Space missions can be used to learn how to increase safety and improve user-system interaction in other extreme contexts such as chemical industry on Earth. Applying a cross-comparison between human factors and safety procedures in those contexts, this paper aims to realize possible safety procedures implementations in all life-threatening and extreme contexts such as disasters. The case studies presented are: real simulation of a Space mission, a virtual simulation of a Mars mission, simulation of an accident scenario in a chemical plant. With these case studies we aim to improve safety in the relevant domains by analyzing the results and implementing mutually the findings. A new methodology of knowledge transfer among different cases of extreme and life-threatening environments aimed at obtaining an innovative solution is likely to emerge from this paper. |
