abstract="Strengthening and expanding of production capacity during the last 20 years have led to a need for modernisation in control centres like control rooms and dispatching. However, the use of new I&C technologies induced an explosion of information and new functions, which are available at these workplaces. However, hand in hand higher demands in performance of operators occurred, which finally influenced even the reliability and safety of controlled processes. To cope with this situation, it requires not only responsible control system design, but also implementation of ergonomic aspects in operators' interface design, in working station construction and in parameters of the control centre environment. Pressure in applications of approach with respect to human factors and needs (so called Human-Centred Design) has grown significantly stronger in recent years. This issue has made its way into discussion held by ergonomists, engineers and operation management, and it induces many specific questions. This article aims at some associated aspects, and it discusses the newest knowledge in control centre ergonomics.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
