Ergonomics And Safety Solutions
Aims to bridge a gap between the academia and industry by developing practical tools and methods to help industrial practitioners.
http://www.siit.tu.ac.th/ergonomics/

Extractions: Ergonomics was firstly introduced in Thailand in the late 1960s. Since then, ergonomics has been taught in several undergraduate programs such as industrial engineering, occupational health and safety, industrial design, sports science, industrial psychology, and physical rehabilitation. After some 30 years, these academic programs have produced a number of graduates who are now working as practitioners and educators, both in the government and private sectors. The Ergonomics and Safety Solutions (ESS) group aims to bridge a gap between the academia and industry by developing practical tools and/or methods to help industrial practitioners, who are interested in ergonomics but lack needed educational background, training, and work experience, effectively apply ergonomics principles and guidelines to improve overall work conditions. Inexpensive tools/methods that are easy to use/follow and provide ergonomics and safety solutions that are reasonably accurate within a short amount of time are the primary output of the ESS group. Noise Manager Noise Manager version 1.0, written in Visual Basic Application (VBA) on Microsoft Excel, is specially developed for helping safety engineers to control and prevent industrial nois problems. Noise Manager can calculate the combined noise level at any location, draw noise contour map, approximate the noise level of machines without being shutdown, schedule worker-machine assignment, locate appropriate alarm devices, and more! Noise Manager currently consists of 8 and is freely available.

HealthyComputing.com For Kids: Computer Ergonomics, Health, And Backpack Issues
The science of ergonomics studies how people interact with their environment, and then figures out ways to make these interactions more efficient and safe.
http://www.healthycomputing.com/kids/

Extractions: You wouldn't think that using your computer or carrying a backpack would be dangerous. But thousands of kids are injured each year by backpacks that are too heavy or Repetitive Stress Injuries (like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome) that come from poor posture and typing habits. The good news is that these injuries are easy to avoid - if you have the right information. The science of Ergonomics studies how people interact with their environment, and then figures out ways to make these interactions more efficient and safe. That means designing backpacks to put less stress on the back, or arranging computer monitors so that you don't have to strain to see the monitor. We've gathered the world's foremost independent experts in Medicine, Ergonomics, and Physical Therapy to provide information on three common areas of injuries - computer use, backpacks, and gaming devices. Choose any area, and you'll find tips and tricks to avoid injuries and choose the right products. A product of HealthyComputing.com

Extractions: Computer Ergonomics is about things that you can do to make working on a computer more comfortable and better for your body. For example, wearing a bike helmet when riding a bike and a seatbelt when riding in a car are two simple things that you do to be safe. The Computer Ergonomics for Elementary School Students (CergoS) Web site will show you some simple and affordable ways to make sure that your body is safe and comfortable while using a computer. This project was supported by a grant from the Department of Consumer and Business Services, Oregon OSHA . All material at this Web site is free to everyone and can be reproduced. Web-site content was developed by Inger M. Williams, Ph.D., Consultant in Computer Ergonomics for Offices and Schools. For comments and questions about the content, please contact Inger at cergos@rochester.rr.com NOTE : The CergoS web site, designed by the Oregon Public Education Network (OPEN), is now a part of the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division ( OR-OSHA ) web site.

Chairs, Back Pain, And Ergonomic Misconceptions
An analysis of postural problem caused by most chairs and how better chair design and the insights of the Alexander Technique can help.
http://www.zafu.net/whatswrong.html

Extractions: Where Cushions Go View Cart Check Out Contact Us What's Wrong With the Chair: Sitting and the New Ergonomics copywrite 2002 Patrick Clark Back pain is epidemic in America. It costs us over $4 billion each year and, aside from the common cold, keeps more people away from work than any other single cause. Diverse evidence from many cultures shows that sitting has been associated with numerous problems: back pain of all sorts, fatigue, varicose veins, stress, and problems with the diaphragm, circulation, digestion, elimination, and general body development. Instead of viewing the chair as fundamentally flawed, ergonomists believe if they could only invent the perfect chair, all this would be solved.

http://www.ncergo.org/

Extractions: News Would you swallow a dose of medicine that doctors say may not help you and may very well make you worse? Of course not, but that is the core of the ergonomics debate. While the concept of ergonomics is to fit the workplace to workers, making them more comfortable and ultimately more efficient, it is a subject utterly lacking scientific and medical consensus. Nonetheless, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) continues to aggressively pursue ergonomic issues under its general duty clause and continues to threaten industry-specific rules or recommendations (see Whats the Latest? ), but the foundation for such actions or rules is no more stable today than it was when OSHAs ergonomic regulation of the last decade was rejected. It is that debate the debate over whether there is sound science on which to build a regulation that the National Coalition on Ergonomics finds critical to any solution and wants to promote. The National Coalition on Ergonomics is a coalition of concerned employers (large and small) that work as a unified coalition and voice for the employer community on ergonomic issues. We are dedicated to a full debate concerning ergonomics where both sides of the issue are heard.
