Recalls can be the result of manufacturing defects, design issues, or unexpected and unintended user behaviors – for many manufacturers, issues due to user behavior can be particularly challenging.

Our Human Factors group can provide the expertise to analyze user behavior. We can help predict potential misuses before they happen or identify ways to address unexpected misuses when they are discovered in the field.

Kuba J. Glazek Senior Consultant View Expert Profile “Human Factors experts help clients understand how users, products, and the interactions between them contribute to accidents. We can analyze and evaluate user capabilities, limitations, motivations, and behaviors, as well as product designs, instructions, warnings, relevant standards, and foreseeable uses, which all contribute to a thorough understanding of contributory causes to accidents.”

Offering extensive experience in safety, forensic sciences, and failure analysis, Rimkus has a diverse group of qualified engineers, metallurgists and materials scientists, biomechanists, human factors experts, and safety professionals to conduct accident investigations involving products, equipment, and materials.

Rimkus uses specialized investigative techniques to analyze the full spectrum of the product cycle. We examine the entire life cycle, from inception to end use, including design, manufacturing, materials installation, training, operation, and maintenance.
