      <image:title>Human Factors Studies - “Our expertise in the field is highly respected. For instance, one of our consultants was chosen by the prestigious Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) to co-author Technical Guide TG7.3 ‘Human Contribution to System Safety’. This is an often misunderstood topic in Human Factors projects, so we were delighted to help create this guidance for the benefit of all.”</image:title>
