Schmidt, John K., Weidman, Barbara and Katchan, John (1988): Ergonomics Awareness Training for Industry. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 465-467.

“Many manufacturing firms across the United States are introducing basic ergonomic principles into their production lines. The rationale for this stems from two basic sources: 1) promote higher quality workmanship through reduced worker fatigue and 2) increase occupational health and safety through improved job design. Several firms have opted to include ergonomics awareness training for their employees as part of this effort. The inherent challenge of this undertaking is to design a course of instruction which can effectively disseminate enough background material to achieve ergonomics awareness. The intention of this paper is to discuss the process which was used in developing conducting, and evaluating such a course of instruction.”
