Description
Summary:HFES oversees or touches on a variety of ergonomics and human factors standards activities including standards developed within HFES (e.g. HFES 100) and standards work outside of HFES such as ANSI, ISO and ACGIH. This session is intended to update HFES members on the standards work that HFES is involved. This year the emphasis will be on specific new standards work on topical areas. Included will be a discussion of a suggested interpretation strategy for the outcome metrics of the Revised NIOSH Lift Equation (RNLE) that came out of work on the revision of the ISO 11228 Part 1 on Lifting, Lowering and carrying, the status of the HFES 100 Human Factors Engineering of Computer Workstations standard and the latest work on the ACGIH Ergonomics standards and on a proposed ANSI standard on Human Readiness Levels.
