Human Factors Training & Consultancy

Human Ergonomics

Whether you’re interested in the design of safety critical systems such as nuclear, defense, oil and gas, industrial ergonomics or office design, placing the human at the center of your design and applying human ergonomics techniques is critical to system success.

Market research and user focus groups are great at finding out what your customers think they like or do. We believe you cannot truly find out what the users of your product or system need with market research and focus groups alone. What would you see if a documentary crew spent a day filming the users of your product or service? Would the information in the documentary tally up with findings from market research or focus groups?

A human factors approach to design, provides you with an understanding of the messy reality of what people actually do rather then what they say they do.

By applying our research-based approach to design our Chartered Ergonomists allow you to get a high-level understanding of your user’s needs. Understanding user needs will allow the design to facilitate improved wellbeing, productivity and allow users to flourish.
