Ergonomic and human factors are critically important in product design, particularly in determining machines’ essential health and safety requirements.
The Federation of European Ergonomics Societies (FEES) continuously monitors and represents the implementation of ergonomic principles in machinery design at the European level. We collaborate with relevant organizations, actively participate in regulatory development, and contribute to standardization efforts.
