About the Author

The Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors (on 20^th October 2009, the Ergonomics Society changed its name to IEHF) is the professional body for ergonomists and human factors specialists based in the United Kingdom. It also attracts members throughout the world and is affiliated to the International Ergonomics Association. It provides recognition of competence of its members through its Professional Register.
