Objectives
- To document theories and methods in Safety and Health and to disseminate information for ergonomic design purpose.
- To coordinate research and practices in Safety and Health
- To participate in and/or organize collaborative events, such as Pan Pacific Conference on Occupational Safety and Health for researchers and practitioners in academia and industry to share solutions in Safety and Health.
Structure
To implement above objectives, this TC creates two Working Groups:
WG1 – Theories, Methods and Technologies
- Prof. Sheng Wang, Peking University, China
- Dr. Sung Kang, Korea Occupational Safety and Health Agency, Korea
- Prof. Koya Kishida, Takasaki City Univ., Japan
- Prof. Akihiko Seo, Tokyo Metropolitan University, Japan
- Prof. Fereydoun Aghazadeh, Louisiana State University, U.S.A.
The group is responsible for coordinating work that relates to theory and tool development in ergonomic design.
WG2 – Standards and Practice in Design of Workplaces in Asia
- Prof. Suebsak Nanthavanij, Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology, Thammasat University, Thailand
- Prof. Eric Wang, National Tsing Hua University, ROC
