Work Health and Safety Branch, Human Systems Integration (HSI) literature review

The review makes the case for HSI as an important consideration in Defence capability acquisitions, both small and large. HSI is significant because Defence people are a fundamental input to capability. The development of a capability is nothing without people and operational use must not only be effective and efficient, but also safe from foreseeable mishap, harm and long-term injury to our people.

Further background on this can be found at the HSI web page or the literature review (1.5 MB) Adobe PDF File.

For EndNoteŽ users only, appendix B of the review may be downloaded as a zipped ENLX file (295 KB).
