NCA applied to human factors/ergonomics


At the triennial congress of the International Ergonomics Association in Florence, Italy, a workshop was held on the application of NCA to prevention programs for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (e.g., back pain). About 25 participants from academia and practice discussed potential success factors of such programs. They also filled out a questionnaire to identify such necessary factors. Jean Mangharam persented a framework for a prevention program in Australia.
