| ● Robens Centre for Health Ergonomics The ergonomics group at the University of Surrey was established in 1978 and has long been recognised as an international centre of excellence for research, teaching and application. Ergonomics is the science of designing systems to match human capabilities with the aim of optimising productivity while preserving health and reducing accidents and errors. Ergonomics is multi disciplinary, often drawing on psychological, engineering, biological and other scientific methods to address the problems that occur in work systems. Researchers at the Robens Centre for Health Ergonomics come from a wide range of academic backgrounds and collaborate with colleagues from many different disciplines. We provide training for people wanting to become professional ergonomists and those wanting to learn more about ergonomics approaches. We conduct research into many problems that arise from poorly designed work systems. Currently, these include musculoskeletal disorders, workplace stress, organisational change, patient safety, medication error, the usability of equipment and design solutions to safety problems. |
