Federation of European Ergonomics Societies Ergonomics in and for Europe

The project group “Human Factors, Ergonomics and Safe Machines” works on design requirements and recommendations regarding occupational safety, health, human factors, and ergonomics. It informs how to integrate human factors and ergonomics design requirements into machinery construction, workplace and equipment design and human-system interaction in practice: https://www.safe-machines-at-work.org/human-factors

As the Section’s website is a communication tool and offers information for designers, manufacturers as well as users, we published the first practical examples from our member institutions:

• The fact sheets on ergonomics in practice – published by BGN, Mannheim, Germany:
  Ergonomically designed workplaces contribute to keeping employees healthy, satisfied, and productive. Therefore, it is worthwhile to consider ergonomic aspects when designing workplaces.
• The website of Suva, Lucerne, Switzerland, on physical stress and ergonomics focuses on preventing risks arising from physical stress in the workplace and offers practical recommendations for improving working conditions.

Further examples will follow.
