The organisation of industrial ergonomics--A human: machine model.
The multidisciplinary nature of ergonomics requires the organisation of component disciplines into a recognisable technology for industrial practice, the development of methodologies for use by ergonomists and the specification of criteria for training courses. A simple model is presented and illustrated which has been developed and used in industrial practice and in training for industrial practice.
