Ergonomics, also known as Human Factors (which means “fitting things to people”), draws on scientific data about humans’ true capabilities and limitations. It is often the key to a well-justified Performance Solution, by considering the attributes of users of a facility, when and how they use it, as well as explaining how people actually see, move, understand and sense their surroundings. It takes into account the breadth of human behaviour, human size, strength, abilities, and limits. Ergonomics is a powerful tool in developing justified Performance Solutions
In this live 2-hour webinar training, professional engineer and ergonomist Mark Dohrmann and his fellow engineers will provide an overview of how ergonomics reasoning can be used effectively to justify Performance Solutions.
Presentation of case studies will illustrate how this method has been successfully applied.
Participants will also receive a handy guide on how to effectively use expert ergonomics and human engineering in developing Performance Solutions.
