Ergonomic Evaluation Overview

Ergonomics is the science of fitting jobs to people. The science of Ergonomics is involved in two major areas:

Health and Safety: Occupational Medicine and Occupational Psychology

Productivity: Engineering Design, Industrial Manufacturing, Engineering Management

In 1993, The Matheson System recognized the need for an in-depth ergonomictraining program that would appeal to those from the allied health and safety professions. This program for non-engineers would focus on evaluation techniques, rather than engineering-control issues, germane to office and industrial ergonomics. The Ergonomics Evaluation Certification Program is a result of this recognition. Under the direction of Dr. John LaCourse, CPE #82, the course has grown in influence and popularity since its inception.
