Human Factors
Human factors of ergonomie speelt in ons dagelijks werk en privéleven een belangrijke rol. Zonder dat we er vaak alert op zijn. Pas als de human factors niet in orde is valt het op. Het vakgebied human factors houdt zich bezig met het ontwerpen van de omgeving, processen en werkplekken, producten of informatie waarmee wij -de gebruikers- optimaal kunnen functioneren. Human factors is terug te vinden in auto’s en openbaar vervoer, kleding, software, handgereedschappen, machines, kantoren, productie: kortom in producten, processen en organisaties.
Wat kan human factors bijdragen aan mijn organisatie?
Naast sociale doelen (arbo) kan human factors ook bijdragen aan economische doelen van een organisatie. Met gebruiksvriendelijke producten kan een bedrijf haar klanten voordelen bieden die verder gaan dan die van concurrerende producten. Met mensvriendelijke productieprocessen kan een bedrijf de arbeidsproductiviteit verhogen en daarmee belangrijke kostenbesparingen realiseren. Vanwege het groeiend besef van het belang van mensen (klanten en medewerkers) voor het succes van organisaties, kan ergonomie van strategische waarde zijn voor het management van organisaties.

History of IES
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 65 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.

LODZ UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (TUL) - POLAND
About TUL
History
The establishment of the Lodz University of Technology is strictly associated with the history and development of the industrial Lodz.
Thanks to incredibly fast development of textile industry in the second half of the 19thcentury Lodz became the second largest city in the area of Poland. This situation required highly qualified employees, namely graduates of higher technical schools. A long battle of establishing a technical university inLodz began. The first actions were taken after the fall of the January Uprising. Appointing a Polytechnic Institute in Lodz was planned. The initiative case was piloted by the General Director of the Government Committee for Public Enlightenment – Witte. The courses were supposed to begin in 1865. Some area within the city was donated to the future university, verdict of the competition for design of the university building was announced, temporary rooms hired and professors recruited. Works on equipping the Institute with teaching aids, machines and books were in progress. A draft of The Act on the Institute was prepared, the final version of The Act was sent to the Tsar for signature on 13 July 1866. Unfortunately the Tsar did not accept the idea of establishing the Polytechnic Institute.
By the end of the seventies of the 19th century the trials to establish a technical university in Lodz began once again. On 31 January 1876 the Town Council sent a letter to the Piotrkow Governor asking for his support in the cause. The industrialists and merchants of Lodz committed themselves to securing a credit from the bank and donated sites for building of the Institute. Unfortunately also these efforts turned out ineffective.
After regaining freedom by Poland, in 1921 a motion was made to establish a Technical University. Yet the government turned out unfavourable to Lodz, and the idea fell through again.
It was no sooner than after the 2nd World War that the idea was brought into existence. After a few months of efforts by the Lodz authorities a decision was made in the Ministry of Education that “the necessity to establish a technical university in Lodz does not demand further justification”.
On 8 May 1945 Professor Bohdan Stefanowski from the Warsaw University of Technology came to Lodz. The following day, assisted by his closest associates he started to work intensely on creating the university.
Image
The city authorities granted temporary premises to the university. The starting point of the university’s own premises were the buildings of former Rosenblatt factory situated nearby the downtown of Lodz.
The decree that officially brought the Lodz University of Technology into being was signed on 24 May 1945. The university’s first faculties were Mechanical Engineering with Textile Engineering Unit, Electrical Engineering and Chemistry. 525 enrolees were admitted to the first year of studies, 458 students continued their further years of studies. The university had 33 departments with 33 professors, 15 senior lecturers and 53 assistant professors.
The university developed dynamically. The buildings of Rosenblatt factory were quickly adapted. With every year the premises of the university were improving, the number of students and academics was increasing, and the tasks of the university were more and more challenging.

ORGANIZATION CENTER OF REGISTRATION OF EUROPEAN ERGONOMICS (CREE)
About CREE
CREE
The Centre for Registration of European Ergonomists (CREE) is a unique organisation within ergonomics in that it harmonises the certification practices of the ergonomics societies within a large geographical area, covering multiple countries. The national member societies have agreed on the necessary standard of knowledge and practical experience requried to become a certified European Ergonomist. It is administered by the CREE Council, which is composed of representatives from each member society. CREE is the only body endorsed by the International Ergonomics Association to certify professional ergonomists in Europe.
The CREE confers the professional title “European Ergonomist” to designate qualified and experienced members of the profession. The quality of their professional practice and their education has been peer-reviewed and they must adhere to a professional Code of Conduct. The CREE certifies all applicants who are assessed as meeting the specified minimum requirements. It is not necessary to be a member of a national society to obtain certification. Applications are welcomed from any qualified ergonomist, provided that he or she works within the member countries of the Council of Europe. In exceptional circumstances applications can be accepted from outside Europe. Please contact the Secretary General, if you have an enquiry about this.
The structure and operation of CREE is designed to comply with the International Standard ISO/IEC 17024:2012(en) “Conformity assessment — General requirements for bodies operating certification of persons”
History and aims
In the years prior to the emergence of open borders for labour movement in Europe, it was evident to the national ergonomics societies within the European Union that some common agreement on the level of expertise to be expected of a competent ergonomist was required for the benefit both of those wishing to use the services of ergonomists and of the members of the national societies. To this end representatives from the larger ergonomics societies federated to the International Ergonomics Association collaborated to prepare an agreement. In June 1992 a report on recommendations for the harmonisation of professional training was published (HETPEP). From this base the minimum requirements for registration were defined.
The Centre for Registration of European Ergonomists CREE was established in 1994 to undertake and administer the registration process. Changes to the minimum requirements for registration are undertaken only rarely and in consultation with the member societies.
ROMANIAN SOCIETY ON ERGONOMICS AND WORKPLACE MANAGEMENT (ERGOWORK) - ROMANIA
About ErgoWork
Ergonomics & Workplace Management Society [ERGOWORK] is a scientific and professional non-governmental organisation from Romania that develop good practice, educational and research activities in the ergonomics plus workplace management fields and all included or connect disciplines as: facility management, maintenance, operations and process management, human resources management, financial management, psychology / sociology of work, occupational medicine, workplace safety, interior design and architecture. ERGOWORK is member of Federation of the European Ergonomics Societies (FEES).
Derived from the Greek ergon (work) and nomos (laws) to denote the science of work, ergonomics is a systems-oriented discipline which now extends across all aspects of human activity. According with IEA and FEES ergonomics promotes a holistic approach in which considerations of physical, cognitive, social, organizational, environmental and other relevant factors are taken into account . Consequently both international association consider now three main domains of specialization:
Physical ergonomics is concerned with human anatomical, anthropometric, physiological and biomechanical characteristics as they relate to physical activity. (Relevant topics include working postures, materials handling, repetitive movements, work related musculoskeletal disorders, workplace layout, safety and health.)
Cognitive ergonomics is concerned with mental processes, such as perception, memory, reasoning, and motor response, as they affect interactions among humans and other elements of a system. (Relevant topics include mental workload, decision-making, skilled performance, human-computer interaction, human reliability, work stress and training as these may relate to human-system design.)
Organizational ergonomics is concerned with the optimization of sociotechnical systems, including their organizational structures, policies, and processes. (Relevant topics include communication, crew resource management, work design, design of working times, teamwork, participatory design, community ergonomics, cooperative work, new work paradigms, virtual organizations, telework, and quality management.)
One of the recent definitions of the ergonomics is as the science of fitting workplace conditions and job demands to the capabilities of the worker.
From the perspective of ERGOWORK workplace management is approached in the relation with the recently view provided by the international networks of facility management and the discipline of facility management (FM) in connection with the scientific, traditional, approach of ergonomics.

Nell'esercitare la loro professione i Soci si attiveranno per creare opportunità di sviluppo e di promozione per tutti coloro con i quali entrano in contatto.
I Soci che sono interessati nella ricerca seguiranno il seguente elenco di principi per quanto si riferisce alla condotta delle ricerche ed alla loro divulgazione:
Gestione della ricerca Tutti i Soci che fanno ricerca dovrebbero aderire alla Convenzione di Ginevra ed all'Accordo di Helsinki nel trattare esseri umani ed animali, oltre a rispettare leggi e regolamenti nazionali e locali, come in generale le procedure stabilite all'interno della comunità scientifica. In particolare:
verificheranno che le loro ricerche abbiano prospettive di vantaggi ben oltre i limiti della non esposizione a rischi per gli uomini e gli animali coinvolti. Inoltre determineranno scrupolosamente e con la massima cautela possibile l'esposizione a rischi e stress di coloro che sono coinvolti nella ricerca e li divulgheranno con il massimo scrupolo
determineranno attentamente ed il più accuratamente possibile il grado di pericolo presente nelle ricerche che stanno conducendo eliminando il più possibile l'esposizione dei soggetti, in modo da avere la garanzia che nessun danno possa essere procurato all'uomo. Garantiranno che qualsiasi esperimento venga immediatamente interrotto qualora l'esposizione del soggetto ai pericoli superi la soglia comunemente accettata. Inoltre, se necessario, predisporranno le cure mediche del caso
assicureranno che i principi e la pratica dell'etica professionale vengano seguiti nei loro laboratori di ricerca da parte di tutti i loro collaboratori, assistenti, studenti ed impiegati
intraprenderanno solo quei progetti di ricerca che siano stati approvati dai competenti Comitati Etici di controllo. Dovranno inoltre stabilire un protocollo di consenso per i soggetti coinvolti. Ogni informazione dovrà essere fornita in un linguaggio chiaro e completo ed indicherà le condizioni di collaborazione con particolare riferimento agli aspetti relativi agli elementi di rischio, stress e pericolo facenti parte dell'intero esperimento
autorizzeranno i soggetti che hanno accettato di partecipare alla ricerca ad interrompere gli esperimenti in qualsiasi momento lo ritengano necessario, in assoluta autonomia. L'identità dei soggetti della ricerca sarà sempre tenuta anonima a meno che gli interessati non diano il permesso per la divulgazione
non costringeranno nessun soggetto potenzialmente utile per la ricerca a partecipare in un progetto né utilizzeranno premi economici non dovuti per indurre le persone ad assumersi rischi che altrimenti non correrebbero.
L'informazione circa le ricerche Nell'esercizio della loro professione di ricercatori, i Soci che sono impegnati in ricerche o attività didattiche hanno l'obbligo di relazionare circa i loro lavori alla comunità scientifica generale e di valorizzare coloro che hanno contribuito professionalmente al loro lavoro:
le relazioni saranno pubblicate sulle riviste scientifiche o presentate durante incontri scientifici delle Società di Ergonomia
i Soci dovranno accertarsi dell'integrità e della precisione dei dati registrati e delle conclusioni prima di riportarli alla comunità scientifica. Inoltre dovranno mantenere il più alto grado di rigore scientifico negli esperimenti, nell'analisi e nell'esposizione dei risultati riportati
ai Soci spetterà anche il mantenere il più alto grado di obiettività ogni volta che recensissero o curassero la pubblicazione di lavori di colleghi. In particolare devono garantire che la loro obiettività non sia influenzata dalle proprie opinioni nel caso in cui i dati ed i risultati riportati contrastino con propri lavori precedentemente pubblicati
non plageranno i lavori altrui. Lavori e citazioni prese da altri studiosi dovranno essere riconoscibili e riportare l'indicazione della fonte originaria
metteranno particolare attenzione nella comunicazione nell'ambito della ricerca, in modo da ottimizzarne la comprensione da parte dei professionisti in vista di potenziali applicazioni/utilizzi industriali, nel caso ciò sia previsto. Perciò le indicazioni di progetto devono essere indirizzate là dove possano essere utilizzate.
Norme disciplinari
La SIE e l'IEA possono prendere appropriati provvedimenti disciplinari nei casi di violazioni anche parziali di questo Codice Deontologico da parte dei Soci.

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.
