The continuous expansion of novel power systems has been accompanied by frequent human factor-related safety incidents in electrical operations
highlighting the critical urgency of human factor safety management for ensuring grid stability and personnel safety. As a typical tightly-coupled human-machine-material-environment system
power production places “humans” at its core hub
whose safety status directly determines the overall system reliability. However
conventional management methods struggle to monitor operators' physiological states
cognitive loads
and emotional fluctuations in real time
and further lack capabilities for early warning of human factor risks. To address these challenges
this study systematically integrates human factors engineering theory into power industry practices. It proposes a theoretical framework for human factor safety in electrification
delineating its conceptual underpinnings and risk characteristics while examining its contemporary relevance and industry-specific particularities. A methodology system for human factor safety management
incorporating distinctive power industry features
is constructed. Furthermore
a multi-dimensional sensing solution is introduced
integrating wearable sensors
computer vision
non-line-of-sight radar
and brain-computer interfaces
thereby providing a technological pathway towards establishing a comprehensive health and safety monitoring system that spans multiple scenarios
full temporal domains
and all dimensions. Finally
the applications and challenges are summarized along with future perspectives.
