• the scope of these documents, the type and extent of information they provide, to identify any gaps;
• how industry use current guidance and implement PSPI and human factors performance indicators (HFPI) within their organisations, and
• the advantages and disadvantages of guidance and how it could be further developed to better meet industry needs.
