What is National Ergonomics Month? |
| |
|
| |
In 2003, the Human Factors and Ergonomics
Society (HFES) designated October of
every year to be National Ergonomics Month
(NEM). The purpose of NEM is to focus on promoting
human factors/ergonomics to corporate executives,
students, and the general public by providing information and
services to the community. |
| |
|
| |
Is Human Factors included in NEM? |
| |
|
| |
Yes. More completely NEM could have been called National
Human Factors and Ergonomics Month, but for convenience the
shorter name is being used. The shorter name is more effective
since many people already believe Ergonomics and Human Factors
are synonymous. |
| |
|
| |
Who is NEM for? |
| |
|
| |
Everyone! Educators, reporters, HFES members, students, consumers, and community, industry, and government leaders |
| |
|
| |

NEM Long Term Vision
Introduce ten million adults (about 3% of the US
population of 281.4 million) to Human Factors/Ergonomics (HF/E) by 2020.
Provide beneficial information on HF/E to decision
making executives.
Sensitize 1.1 million students to HF/E by 2020, so
they will become more aware of HF/E concerns in their
chosen profession as well as become better informed HF/E
consumers.
Increase corporate relationships with HFES.
Promote the professional development of all student
members and encourage them to take a more active role in
organizations that represent their interests.
