In engineering design projects ergonomic criteria may be supplied to project members along with other design requirements. A formal organization for HF (human factors) is set up where responsibilities pertaining to HF are specified. It is then assumed that the project functions according to this, and that the ergonomics criteria are known among project members. The management of human factors was investigated in two large-scale offshore development projects. The study shows that neither organization of HF nor ergonomics criteria were well known among project members. To be effective, the criteria have to be supported by one-or-more HF specialists who engage themselves actively in design.
