“Human-centred design is the solution to develop effective, efficient and productive work environments” Fee webinar 20th May 2021 11:00 – 12:00 (CET)

The characteristics of the spaces and workstations affect the development of the work in a very relevant way, from the point of view of the safety and health of the workers and also in relation to the effectiveness, efficiency and productivity of the tasks.

Human-centred work environments consider their characteristics and needs in the design and implementation to ensure the proper performance of tasks.

Under this approach, following the methodology of human-centered design and applying it to the development of work environments, within the framework of the “Train4HCwork” project an online course has been developed that includes the disciplines and key aspects to consider for the development of human-centered industrial environments.

ADDRESSED TO:

  • Professionals related to the design and implementation of work environments.
  • Responsible for planning, processes, job design, production department personnel or industry organization.
  • Designers of machinery or work equipment.
  • Personnel responsible for health and safety, human resources personnel.
  • Students from nearby areas of knowledge.

OBJETIVES:

  • Present IBV as a reference center in ergonomics and human factors.
  • Introduce the human-centered design approach and how to translate it into the design and implementation of industrial / work environments.
  • Present the new Train4HCwork course.

MODALITY:

  • Online 100%.
  • The participants will connect through a videoconference system.
  • The access codes will be provided once the registration is formalized.

CONTENTS:

  • Presentation of the IBV and the Occupational Health Unit and introduction to human-centered design.
  • Application of human-centered design to spaces and workstations
  • Importance and necessity of the adaptation to the people of the work environments. The point of view of the ergonomists.
  • Detailed explanation of the course developed within the framework of the Train4HCwork project.

SPEAKERS:

  • Mercedes Sanchis. Head of Innovation – Occupational Health and Safety at Instituto de Biomecánica.
  • Raquel Marzo. Researcher at Instituto de Biomecánica. People’s Needs and Preferences Area.
  • Alberto Ferreras. Researcher at Instituto de Biomecánica. People’s Needs and Preferences Area.
  • Pedro Ferreira. Treasurer at FEES.
  • José Francisco Serrano. Technician at Instituto de Biomecánica. Human Factors Area.

For any profession, Teleworking is a chance for continuity. But the rules, the requirements for such a situation are not so distinct. We have to consider the knowledge accumulated on this solution for several decades.

FEES is pleased to offer you a free webinar about practical aspects of teleworking :

  • What are the different aspects of managing?
  • What change in the relationships within teams?
  • What requirements for the equipment?
  • What available resources? (guidelines, advice,…)

This conference will be delivered in French firstly, and then we will reproduce it in English. The idea is to share the content with all countries, and give to each member the option to deliver it in his own language.

Associated with this webinar, we will deliver a set of documents about the topic. Besides, we will use your feedback to improve this summary and add them to the resources.

This first event begins on May 6th, 16h. It will last 40 minutes, including 20 minutes presentation and 20 minutes questions.
