Abstract
The issue on chemical safety and security has been addressed by many scholars and industrial practitioners in a couple of recent decades. Handling chemicals and chemistry processes, including restriction of its access, have becoming critical issues to minimize risk and prevent illegal or anti social use of chemicals. Interdisciplinary approaches to resolve with this issue has also been arising, including using ergonomics and human factor perspective. Ergonomics and Human Factors is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. This research will study the perspective of this discipline to cope with issue of chemical safety and security, based on a number of references. Potential application in the Research Center for Chemistry (RCC), Indonesian Institute of Sciences (LIPI) is also investigated, particularly to explore the compatibility with the implemented quality system in RCC LIPI such as ISO 17025:2017. A framework of application will be also proposed to conclude the study and recommend the improvement.
