The Swiss Ergonomics Association, in short SwissErgo, is the umbrella organization for all ergonomists and people involved in ergonomics in Switzerland. SwissErgo is a member of the Swiss Federation of Societies for Safety and Health at Work (Suissepro). Internationally SwissErgo is active as a member of the International Ergonomics Association (IEA), the Centre for Registration of European Ergonomists (CREE) as well as the Federation of European Ergonomics Societies (FEES). SwissErgo’s goal is to promote ergonomics in academic studies and in professional practice.
SwissErgo was officially founded in spring 1999 with 26 founding members and has today more than 150 members. The association is “young” considering that in the second half of the last century Swiss ergonomists produced significant scientific contributions in the field and were at the forefront of the international development of ergonomics, with contributions from the Institute for Occupational Medicine and Ergonomics at the University of Geneva (Paule Rey, 1969-1994) and the Institute for Hygiene and Applied Physiology at the ETH Zurich (Etienne Grandjean 1950-1983 and Helmut Krueger 1983-2004). SwissErgo developed out of an ergonomics interest group founded by Maggie Graf (ergonomist at the Federal Department of Industry, Trade and Labour). The main aim at that time was to more formally represent the field of ergonomics to government authorities responsible for safety at work. Additionally it encourages experience exchange and promotes the education of ergonomics and ergonomists.
SwissErgo organizes experience exchange seminars and one-day conferences on current themes, mostly on an annual basis. Members of SwissErgo are active in all geographic and linguistic regions of Switzerland and members are active in the major areas of ergonomics, although there is a heavy concentration on physical ergonomics and work in occupational health. As an active member of CREE, SwissErgo also offers certification as a European Ergonomist (Eur.Erg.) to suitably qualified members.
After an initial rapid growth in membership to over 100 people, the development has slowed down. The closure of the ETH Institute for Hygiene and Applied Physiology and the dropping of the ergonomics stream in the Master of Work and Health course have reduced the number of people getting educated in the field at high level. On the other hand, there are growing numbers of courses at tertiary level, which train people in ergonomics, although it is not their major field of work. The recognition of ergonomics as an important part of occupational health and safety is still not legally anchored, but in practice more and more people are active as consultants in this area and SwissErgo is well-recognised as a discussion partner by the Swiss authorities. It can be seen that interest in the field of ergonomics is growing. However, our society is faced with new and different needs in terms of the availability of training programs in ergonomics.
Ergonomics has become more diverse, colorful and dynamic. It is the scientific discipline concerned with work, health and efficiency. Significant changes in the work environment are taking place today and these provide researchers and practitioners with new challenges. Traditional topics such as lighting, noise and handling of loads remain important, but new topics such as the effects of information technology on work and new interface products are still relatively unexplored. The world of work, the needs of society and the individual are subject to constant change. Ergonomics methods and standards (e.g. for work analysis and design) need to be frequently updated and improved as our knowledge grows. SwissErgo aims to contribute to this development by encouraging education and continual professional development.

Presentación
La Asociación Española de Ergonomia (AEE) es una sociedad técnico-científica de profesionales De La Ergonomia constituida un de finales de los años 80. Di marco internacional de referencia es la Association internationale d’ergonomie (IEA) creada hace 50 años. En nuestro país Existe desde 1997 des Nations Unies marco juridique au Québec comprende el programa formativo y el reconocimiento de nuestra disciplina por parte de la Autoridad Laboral, le péché Parangon con el resto de los países concernidos por la Directiva Marco. Pretendemos Québec en este mandato la mer AEE El Vinculo de referencia asociativa naturelles de los mas 50,000 titulados superiores en PRL Especialistas en Ergonomia y Psicosociología Aplicada, qué soi han formado en nuestro país.
Pero Côme sabemos la Ergonomia es más Que prevención de riesgos laborales y fuera del marco preventivo, di campo de aplicación, es muy variado, y no deja de evolucionar, traspasando el Ámbito laboral y Llegando a toda la sociedad: en la escuela, en los juzgados, en la universidad, en los centros de investigación … diseño de automóviles, puestos de contrôle de Aeronaves, Trenes y máquinas, y otros productos mobiliario …, donde desde diferentes Profesiones y formación, se realizan actividades con la Ergonomia Côme referente, pero no siempre con la participación de los ergónomos. La Cuestión Qué de ya planteó H. Murell, si sobre lo que es el mundo necesita Ergonomia o ergónomos, sigue Estando de actualidad en tanto Que los ELABORADOS conocimientos desde la «base pluridisciplinaire” aucun suficientes fils en si mismos, incluso aplicables fils sc, La sociedad necesita ergónomos Côme Gestores de conocimiento ese, difusores, comunicadores, profesionales Apasionados that trasladen el mensaje de ayudar a la transformación y cambio social.
Estamos asistiendo actualmente un non resurgir de la Ergonomia, creación de foros de encuentro entrepre ergónomos en las Comunidades Autónomas Côme paso previo à la constitución de las autonómicas asociaciones; non ánimo that desde el convencimiento de sentirse ergónomo soi expande de lo lo autonómico un nacional y de lo lo sociale laboral un, y that transformado en las palabras: expansión y evolución, constituyen los Objetivos de toda la Junta Directiva.
SI TU o ti tu empresa Estais interesados en el desarrollo de La Ergonomia, especialización y en su trabajo aplicacion un vuestro diario o vuestros productos, te animo un adherirte un asociación nuestra, todos ya quelques idées aportar las Energia y la Qué hacer QUE Han de nos sintamos orgullosos de pertenecer un con una asociación cuyos amendes nos identificamos y en cuyos medios participamos.
El Presidente, F. Javier Álvarez Llaneza
Objetivos
Además de los Objetivos fundamentales Que se Marca AEE en sus estatutos, conviene recordar that that par soi consigan esos Objetivos, la Asociación ha de funcionar. Y sólo funcionará cuando los socios un SIRVA par les algorithmes. Por eso Hacemos Hincapié en una tarea that the Asociación pas delegar puede: “Programar y realizar las acciones necesarias par conseguir mejoras económicas, sociales, profesionales, académicas y culturales de asociados sus» (Artículo 5 º apartado d, de los estatutos). Para este Que apartado de los estatutos soi cumpliera, la Asociación debería funcionar colegio profesional como un y, aunque esa méta está lejana, nada nos impide intentar unir nuestras fuerzas par situar, allá donde mer oportuno, la Ergonomia en lugar that the CORRESPOND junto a otras más disciplinas antiguas y instaladas ya en nuestra cultura con personalidad Propia.
El contacto y el intercambio de información con asociaciones hermanas de otros países ha de bénéfi une todos los Que lo practiquen. También la representación de nuestro país es en Europa tarea ineludible de la AEE.
El más Objetivo urgente de nuestra AEE es pues, conseguir Que todos los del país ergónomos tengamos conciencia de que pertenecemos une una asociación Que nos necesita ya la necesitamos Québec. Para ello la Junta Directiva está a la escucha y dispuesta un recoger cuantas sugerencias le lleguen.

An informal group was formed in October 1984 and in March 1985 it was accepted as a Regional Group of the Ergonomics Society (U.K.). The Group ran seminars once or twice per year and was involved from 1985 onwards in the development of the ideas and processes for a “European Ergonomist”. The aim was to provide the mechanism for establishing and controlling a recognised professional level for Ergonomists throughout Europe, in order to provide mobility between member states and to protect the public from those who are unqualified and/or not competent. The standards were agreed in 1992 and provided the mechanism for the Irish Ergonomics Group to become a fully Irish society.
A constitution was approved at an AGM in March 1993 and the Irish Ergonomics Society was formally launched on 5th March 1994 when the first Annual Conference was held at the University of Limerick. The Society was admitted to the International Ergonomics Association as an Affiliated Organisation at its 12th Triennial Congress in Toronto on 14th August 1994. This makes it the officially recognised society for Ergonomics in Ireland. The IES became a Federated Member of the IEA (that means full voting rights etc.) at the IEA Council Meeting in August 1995.
The Society also represents Ireland on the Council of the Centre for the Registration of European Ergonomists (CREE) which was incorporated legally in the Netherlands on 1st October 1995 and which administers the registration process. In June 1998 five applicants from Ireland were accepted as European Ergonomists.
Membership of the Irish Ergonomics Society is available to people with a degree (or equivalent) in the Ergonomics area, or some other degree with either the equivalent of two years of full-time work in Ergonomics or have published two scientific papers in Ergonomics. Those who do not meet these requirements but are interested in Ergonomics can join as Associates. Appropriate postgraduate courses are on offer at the University of Limerick (part-time) and at University College Galway (full-time) and at Queen’s University of Belfast (full-time).
Currently total membership stands at about 90 but is growing all the time as the Society becomes better known. The main activity is the Annual Conference supplemented by a regular newsletter with information collated from all around the world. The Society also processes applications for European Ergonomist on behalf of CREE and has occasional input to general matters of Ergonomics e.g. when the term is used incorrectly in the media, or when requested to advise on standards such as in regulations.
