This chapter gives a historical view on human factors (HF) development in the Swedish nuclear industry. It is argued that work within classic HF fields such as man-machine interface design has been developed in parallel with a more systemic trend focusing on, for example, in-depth analysis of events and organizational assessment and safety culture. The identity and roles of HF specialists are discussed and examples of current practices are given.
