Information regarding this webinar is as follows: What’s new in the world of ergonomic standards? Have you ever wondered what exactly a standard is, what role it plays, how it got developed and by whom, who implements it and the impact it has? This webinar will address the development of ergonomic standards specifically related to musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), community engagement and revision processes, their implementation into the workplace and ultimately the benefits they provide to occupational health and safety. Examples of MSD standards developed by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and other standards-making organizations will be shared. This webinar will be of interest to all practitioners and researchers seeking to prevent MSD and understand how and where they can engage in standards Registration is free to all interested people.

The field of transport offers a variety of topics highlighting human-machine interactions in dynamic environments. Furthermore, technological development in this field is bringing about new users’ needs resulting from changes in tasks and increasing complexity in the environment. Different modes of transport could be addressed within this TC, but it largely focuses on road transport currently. From vehicle and in-vehicle equipment design to road environment adequacy and road user needs and related tasks, HFE plays a crucial role in this field. In addition, road transport involves great variability due to road users of different ages, genders, experience levels, types of vehicles and interactions with pedestrians. Therefore, the Transport Ergonomics and Human Factors TC focuses on human-machine interactions in a variety of situations highlighting safety, comfort and efficiency in every task performed while contributing to human-centred design. Objectives of the Transport Ergonomics and Human Factors TC The main goal of the Transport Ergonomics and Human Factors TC is to provide information and communication among IEA members and the general public from the Ergonomics profession, as well as facilitate the exchange of knowledge and experience resulting from research and practice in the field of Transport. This knowledge should be disseminated to different sectors of society, particularly transport related industries and governmental organizations. Organisational structure of the Transport Ergonomics and Human Factors TC The Transport Ergonomics and Human Factors TC is organized into working groups according to the following approaches: (1) an individual approach centred on the user (driver, rider or pedestrian), (2) a vehicle technology approach centred on design and usability requests with safety and comfort purposes; and (3) a system approach providing an integrated perspective of the system as a whole (driver-vehicle environment). Each group covers relevant topics related to the driver and driving task, the vehicle and technology, as well as the road infrastructure and environment.

TECHNICAL COMMITTEES (TCs): The IEA’s Technical Committees (TCs) are ad-hoc special interest groups that are formed as a platform to exchange up-to-date information on and discuss a particular HFE field. More information is available at: https://iea.cc/leadership/technical-committees/ TC Creation Reminder: If you, with at least 5 colleagues, share a passion for a particular special interest area which does not exist as a Technical Committee (TC) and you wish to create a new TC, please contact stpchair@ iea.cc for formalizing this. The process is easy and free! TECHNICAL COMMITTEES (TCs) SIGN UP SHEET The IEA Technical Committees (TCs) are seeking to expand their membership and invite new members from federated societies. To facilitate this, we have created a sign-up form that provides an overview of the role of Technical Committees, including their four primary functions. By completing the form, you can express your interest in joining up to two TCs. Once submitted, TC administrators will review your submission and reach out for further details. Sign-up form for Technical Committees: https://forms.gle/mMpZ9V9PhBGHPBHQ6 Joining a TC is free and there are no qualifying criteria (just that you are a member of a federated society) to join and to participate. You can also join more than one TC if your interests are broader. A list of the TCs can be found on the IEA’s website: https://iea.cc/leadership/technical-committees/. You are always welcome to reach out to TC chairs in addition. |
