Ergonomics (aka Human Factors) plays an increasingly vital role in ensuring that our ever more complex, technological world is fit for the people who live and work in it. I will talk about the history and practice of how to bridge the gap between people and their environment (and the technology they rely on). I will use many real life examples (good and bad) from things we use every day to major industrial and aircraft disasters, a problematic car park and lorry drivers getting lost.

Views: 455 | Enquiries: 1My career was half as a Chartered Engineer and half as a chartered Ergonomics & Human Factors Consultant. My talks draw partly on that but more on my many other interests including: photography, fell walking, bell ringing, railways, bricks, human perception, maths ,... I have given around 250 talks to 100+ different groups. I'm based in Wokingham, Berkshire so limited to the surrounding area for in-person events (but online can be anywhere). Details of my talks are on my website at: jaharrison.me.uk/Talks
