Human Factors

Human Factors Engineering (aka Ergonomics) is the science of work, derived from the Greek ergon (work) and nomos (laws) .  Human Factors is a systems-oriented discipline which extends across all aspects of human activity, drawing on a number of scientific disciplines, including physiology, biomechanics, psychology, anthropometry, industrial hygiene, and kinesiology (U.S. Dept. of Labor, 2000)

  • Physical ergonomics is concerned with human anatomical, anthropometric, physiological and biomechanical characteristics as they relate to physical activity.
  • Cognitive human factors 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.
