Ergonomics And Safety

Ergonomics And Safety company information, Employees & Contact Information

Ergonomics is often defined as quantifying and improving the “fit” between the human and the system, often in the workplace, and generally considering the industrial worker as the population of interest, with a goal of reducing the potential for musculoskeletal disorders. Ergonomics research and development in the Mechanical Engineering Ergonomics and Biomechanics Lab at the University of Utah also includes non-occupational activities and non-standard user populations. In addition, the goal of this research and development is to facilitate rehabilitation, increase user mobility, and generally enhance the lives of users with disabilities. The Ergonomics Program at UU is a part of the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (RMCOEH), an Education and Research Center supported partially by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The lab was founded in 1986 and is funded primarily to address occupational safety and biomechanical hazards in the workplace. Over the years, however, we have become known for helping people with disabilities from both a therapeutic and recreational standpoint. Several of our inventions have received local and national publicity but our reputation has mostly grown by word of mouth between parents and caregivers. It is fortunate that at the University of Utah the Ergonomics Program is located in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. This means that ergonomists who have an understanding of how humans and systems interact, are teamed with mechanical engineers who know how to build things.
