Case studies where a participatory approach was used to design, implement and evaluate human factors training programs within in aviation maintenance operations environment is presented in this paper. A systematic evaluation model with five levels of training effectiveness measures was used to measure the effects of two human factors, maintenance resource management training programs. Positive gains from participatory ergonomics related to these human factors training programs are given.
