Humantech's Popular Ergonomics Seminar Series Continues with New Offerings in the Fall of 2010
August 12, 2010 - ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Humantech, Inc. has announced the fall schedule of its popular series of ergonomics seminars. In addition to the Applied Industrial Ergonomics Seminar and the Advanced Ergonomic Design Workshop, the schedule features a new User-Centered Design course. The new course is presented with their United Kingdom partner, System Concepts. Seminars will be offered in Humantech's Ann Arbor, Mich. corporate training center, Atlanta, Georgia, and London, United Kingdom.
According to James Mallon, certified professional ergonomist and vice president of Humantech, "In addition to our popular Applied Industrial Ergonomics course and the new Advanced Ergonomic Design Workshop, introduced in the spring, we are offering a User-Centered Design course as a public seminar for the first time. These courses, as a package or each on their own, create a complete learning experience for those who want to optimize human performance within their business through the design of workstations, products, and technology."
Applied Industrial Ergonomics will be held in, Ann Arbor, Atlanta, and London, UK. This two-day seminar focuses on practical approaches to improving problem jobs, increasing productivity, and reducing injuries in an industrial environment. Attendees will learn to evaluate workstations and equipment, identify factors contributing to work-related musculoskeletal disorders, and prioritize ergonomic improvements to maximize return on investment.
The Advanced Ergonomic Design Workshop, a one-day seminar, to be held in Ann Arbor, goes beyond risk assessments and focuses on "designing out" the risk in the first place. Through unique group activities, participants will learn specific design guidelines for workstations, tools, controls and displays, and manual material handling; how to apply ergonomics criteria to equipment design using the design review process; and how to evaluate proposed and existing equipment for good ergonomic design. The workshop is offered in conjunction with the Applied Industrial Ergonomics seminar in Ann Arbor.
The New User-Centered Design course, a two-day seminar, teaches systematic techniques to help participants understand the needs, wants, and limitations of end users in order to design effective, efficient and satisfying products and systems. User-centered design techniques can be applied to the development of physical products, websites, systems and digital media. It will help a wide range of people to do their jobs better including: project managers, engineers, and designers; IT developers and analysts; interactive media, customer experience, and marketing professionals. The workshop is offered in partnership with System Concepts in Ann Arbor.
