Some of the Maintenance Human Factors research activities sponsored by the NASA Aviation Safety Program (AvSP), and their historical precursors are described. With the goal of developing interventions that reduce human error and enhance safety and effectiveness in maintenance operations, four key product areas include: 1) human factors task/risk analysis tools, 2) models and tools for enhancing procedures, 3) recommendations for Maintenance Resource Management skills, training and evaluation, and 4) advanced display technologies for training and job aiding.
