For over 30 years Ergonomics & Safety Research Institute (ESRI)
and its predecessor ICE Ergonomics has successfully carried out
ergonomics research and consultancy. Since merging with its sister
organisation HUSAT, it has now extended its areas of expertise to
include interface design and user requirements specification. It aims
for continual improvements in the health, safety, comfort and
convenience of all people. The organisation is now Loughborough Design
School.
Three main areas are targeted:
- Human Focused Design – applying ergonomics to real-world problems to ensure the continual improvement in safety, comfort and convenience for all.
- Transport Technology Ergonomics – providing
ergonomics services to optimise the safety, comfort, convenience and
efficiency of travellers and transport systems.
- Vehicle Safety – producing innovative, incisive and
pertinent analyses to inform decision-making over specific safety
issues, based on engineering, biomechanics, statistics and
epidemiological perspectives.
