Abstract

This paper describes an approach and methodology for applying ergonomic factors in the resolution of questions concerning the design, manufacture and use of consumer products. An important set of principles to be considered in the safety of products relates to ergonomie factors, and these principles can be integrated into any program of product safety analysis and enhancement. This paper views this area as a total information system, and suggests applications for and systematic approaches to ergonomie analysis, including the performance of operations and task analyses.
