Good Ergo Links
There are many ergonomics-related websites.
Some are basically commercials for a consulting service, but are included here if they also attempt to educate the visitor about ergonomics.
We can't endorse any of them as being either completely up-to-date, complete, accurate, or even guaranteed-to-be-helpful. Please take the content of any ergonomics publication with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, we believe all of these sites have merit and some are excellent.
These links are listed in no particular order.
Typing Injury FAQ
Wide-ranging site with a long pedigree, produced over the years by a variety of people. Continually improving.
|
University of Nebraska
Not an official U of Neb site, but produced by folks from there, drawing from Australian as well as North American expertise.
|
www.humanics-es.com
Humanics Ergosystems is a consulting firm with original reports and articles and a wealth of ergonomics resources including workplace ergonomics, ergonomics for children and people with disabilities as well as design of the built environment. Also extensive links to medical research and resources.
|
Cornell University
Parts of this site consist of course-related information for Cornell's ergonomics degree programs, but they also post questionnaires and other tools and summaries of their research projects.
|
TURVA OSHWEB
A site in Finland that, at present, is the mother-of-all-ergo-link-lists. They have included the good, the bad, and the blatantly commercial, but it's interesting to explore. Caveat emptor.
|
UCSF/UCB Ergonomics Program tips page
The University of California San Francisco/Berkeley has an ergonomics degree program. This link goes to the informational / helpful parts of their site.
|
OSHA
Yes, OSHA (federal) publishes some ergonomics information. Mostly press releases. Informational parts are ... disappointing. But watch this site for publication of their next take on a national Ergonomics Standard.
|
ErgoWeb
A subscription service, with some of their information available for free as samples. Largely deals with non-office work. A
good place to start getting familiar with industrial ergonomics (i.e. heavy work).
