Question Citation about (Aircraft) Design and Human Factors

I'm searching the internet for a citation I read some time ago (most probably here on PPRuNe) regarding the human factor in aircraft / machinery design. Unfortunately I seem to feed the wrong words into the search engine as my memories are very vague.

If I remember correctly it was attributed to NASA and included best design practices in two or three steps to avoid the possibility of errors being made in the final product by the crew / operator. The last but least desirable solution was implementing a "workaround" a.k.a. procedure.

Please bear with me as I'm aware that this is not a strict Flight Testing topic. I'm hoping to reach the "right" audience in here as I see it closely related. Any help of you, the knowledgable flight testing community, would be highly appreciated.
