FSEG are involved in human factors research associated with both emergency and non-emergency situations. As part of this research FSEG undertake a number of surveys designed to assist in the understanding of human behaviour. Your participation in these studies will contribute to improving our understanding of human behaviour, assist in the development of more realistic computer models and ultimately contribute to the design of more user friendly and safer building, aircraft, ship and train designs.
Prior to releasing our surveys, each survey must undergo review by the University of Greenwich Research Ethics Committee to ensure that the survey is being undertaken in an ethically appropriate manner and that all practical means have been implemented to ensure that the data is collected, stored and handled in an appropriate manner.
