• SAFE 347: Ergonomics

  3.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  Explores the principles that control human performance and its effect on the safety and reliability of systems. Engineering anthropometrics, human perception, biomechanics of motion and work posture, work physiology, and human performance measurement are taught in the context of their application in workplace design. Instructs in methodologies for analysis of tasks and human performance requirements. Important human limitations and ergonomic hazard evaluations, such as lifting and repetitive motion tasks, are studied in laboratory sessions.
