What Can an Ergonomist Do to Manage Dangerous Substances Better

The objective of the European Month of Ergonomics (EME) of the Federation of Europe-an Ergonomics Societies (FEES) is to promote the ergonomics profession in Europe. The first theme “Know your ergonomics” gave an introduction in 2009. The following EMEs became specific, and the topics are dedicated to the actual campaigns of the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). The EME goal is not only to relay the EU-OSHA message but to highlight the role of the ergonomics profession, to show how an ergonomist can contribute to a healthier and safer workplace, to improve performance and increase workers’ satisfaction.
