SIE national Congress 2022

May 7, 2022July 15, 2024 info Leave a comment

SIE broadcasts two English sessions online on the occasion of the SIE national Congress on 3 May 2022.

The first session on “Occupational exoskeleton and ergonomics” will occur between 9 am and 11 am.

The second session, “A journey into the future of home care”, is scheduled between 2,30pm and 4,30pm.

Workshop – Occupational Exoskeletons and Ergonomics

Occupational exoskeletons (OEs) can be defined as personal assistive devices that can reduce the physical load on workers performing demanding activities by acting synergistically with their users. Companies have shown interest in OEs as possible solutions to reduce their workers’ exposure to physical risk factors that can cause work-related musculoskeletal disorders, and alternatives and/or complementary aids to more expensive solutions for reducing physical strain on their workers (such as collaborative robots).

Motivated by the enormous potential to improve the ergonomics of workstations in their production lines, car manufacturers, in particular, have pioneered research in using the robots at workplaces; in addition to the automotive field, OEs have been proposed in various other manufacturing contexts, as well as in non-manufacturing domains, such as logistics, construction, agriculture, and patient care. This workshop aims to discuss with speakers from academia, industry, and stakeholders the scientific evidence and open challenges in applying occupational exoskeletons into working environments as tools to support ergonomics. The invited speakers will include occupational medicine, ergonomics, and bioengineering experts.

The workshop will include presentations from the invited speakers and open discussions with the audience.

Workshop: wudSIE Journey into the future of home care

The outbreak of the global Covid19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of home care. Before the covid-19 spread, there were many technologies to support the doctor-patient relationship and innovative devices at home for patient monitoring and care. In this regard, this workshop aims to show the work project WudSIE2021 that focused on the future of home care and, in particular, investigated how technology will contribute to its change.

Among the members of The Italian Society of Ergonomics (SIE), a multidisciplinary working group has tried to imagine how home care will occur in the next twenty years. To date, a tentative hybridisation of the two methodologies “Strategic Foresight” (SF) and “Human-Centred Design” (HCD) has been set up. The HCD aims to design effective and sustainable solutions human-centred, while the SF uses data-based forecasting techniques to outline scenario strategies for the future.

The workshop will outline the stages of the journey into the future of home care of the WUDSIE working group.

We look forward to strengthening the international cooperation and solidarity within the scientific and professional communities of HFE.

7-8-9 July 2021 Virtual (Budapest) Summer University on Ergonomics (34. ERGONÓMIAI NYÁRI EGYETEM)

We kindly invite you to the 34th Summer University of Ergonomics, this time in the virtual space.
The program follows the usual Summer University structure: there will be professional lectures on Wednesday, good practices on Friday, and we will go on-site on Thursday – virtually.

The opening sessions dedicated to the EU-OSHA “Lighten the Load” campaign; at the same time, it explores ergonomics beyond the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders.

This year summer university is unique because it’s a joint event of the Austrian Ergonomics Society, the Hungarian Ergonomic Society, the Ergonomics & Workplace Management Society [ERGOWORK] from Romania, the Bulgarian Association of Ergonomics and Human Factors. Up to the shared English sessions, there are tracks for each language, i.e. a Bulgarian one on Artificial Intelligence and ergonomics, a Hungarian on Office and sedentary work, Polish on mental workload, Romanian on service ergonomics.

Several universities contribute to this summit university working together in the Ergonomics and Human Factors Regional Educational CEEPUS Network.

“Human-centred design is the solution to develop effective, efficient and productive work environments” Fee webinar 20th May 2021 11:00 – 12:00 (CET)

The characteristics of the spaces and workstations affect the development of the work in a very relevant way, from the point of view of the safety and health of the workers and also in relation to the effectiveness, efficiency and productivity of the tasks.

Human-centred work environments consider their characteristics and needs in the design and implementation to ensure the proper performance of tasks.

Under this approach, following the methodology of human-centered design and applying it to the development of work environments, within the framework of the “Train4HCwork” project an online course has been developed that includes the disciplines and key aspects to consider for the development of human-centered industrial environments.

ADDRESSED TO:

Professionals related to the design and implementation of work environments.
Responsible for planning, processes, job design, production department personnel or industry organization.
Designers of machinery or work equipment.
Personnel responsible for health and safety, human resources personnel.
Students from nearby areas of knowledge.

OBJETIVES:

Present IBV as a reference center in ergonomics and human factors.
Introduce the human-centered design approach and how to translate it into the design and implementation of industrial / work environments.
Present the new Train4HCwork course.

MODALITY:

Online 100%.
The participants will connect through a videoconference system.
The access codes will be provided once the registration is formalized.

CONTENTS:

Presentation of the IBV and the Occupational Health Unit and introduction to human-centered design.
Application of human-centered design to spaces and workstations
Importance and necessity of the adaptation to the people of the work environments. The point of view of the ergonomists.
Detailed explanation of the course developed within the framework of the Train4HCwork project.

SPEAKERS:

Mercedes Sanchis. Head of Innovation – Occupational Health and Safety at Instituto de Biomecánica.
