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. NEM could have been called National
Human Factors and Ergonomics Month, but for convenience the
shorter name is being used, and many people believe Ergonomics and Human Factors
are synonymous. |
| |
|
| |
Who is NEM for? |
| |
|
| |
Everyone! Educators, reporters, HFES members, students, consumers, and community, industry, and government leaders. |

Provide beneficial information on HF/E to decision-making executives.
