Ergonómica consigue muchos del zumbido en la prensa cuando la gente habla de sitios de trabajo de la computadora o teclado diseño, pero poca realiza cómo es penetrante la ciencia de la ergonómica se ha convertido en la fabricación de nuestras vidas diarias más funcionales y más cómodas. De la silla humilde de la oficina a la electrónica de alta tecnología, la ergonómica se ha convertido en un elemento crítico en producto y los sistemas diseñan.

Conjuntamente con un nuevo objeto expuesto en la ergonómica en el museo del diseño de Londres, Compartimiento de noticias de BBC hechó una ojeada recientemente cómo productos ergonómicos la vida diaria del impacto y la ergonómica destacada de cinco maneras está formando el mundo que vivimos pulg.

En los controles. Controles en los automóviles, carros, equipo de dirección material, la maquinaria y cualquier cosa que implica a operador humano se deben diseñar para ser utilizado por la gente de todas las formas y tamaños. Los controles del manejo y del freno deben ser igualmente usables por 6 pies. 7 pulg. Kobe Bryants y 4 pies. 9 pulg. Maria Lou Rettons. los asientos de coche Multi-ajustables que mueven hacia adelante y hacia atrás, hacia arriba y hacia abajo e incluso delantero inclinado y al revés son apenas un ejemplo de cómo es ergonómico diseñe los impactos nuestras vidas del diario.

Vida o muerte. La fusión de 1979 bases en la central nuclear de tres Mile Island en Pennsylvania destacó el peligro extremo planteado cuando los sistemas complejos intersecan error humano. El reajuste ergonómico de los paneles de control complejos que contribuyeron al accidente creó instalaciones nucleares más seguras.

Caramelo del ojo. A su énfasis en utilidad, la gente no asocia la ergonómica con belleza; pero las buenas miradas lisas del iPod de Apple, del iPhone y de otros productos de la electrónica deben su belleza al buen diseño ergonómico.

Rabia del abrigo. El empaquetado mal diseñado es la perdición de la existencia diaria. Los consumidores son el intentar diario dañado quitar los embalajes impenetrables. La ergonómica ha enviado los plásticos de la cubierta que embalaban a favor de los abrigos del CD de la cartulina y de los tapones de tuerca agregados a los cartones de la leche.

En el trabajo.  De sillas, teclados y ratones de la computadora a equipo de dirección material que las fuentes de los movimientos, el equipo, la basura y más, ergonómica profundo ha afectado el lugar de trabajo.

Cap and trade is not going to go away. Seen as a cornerstone of the national movement to cut carbon emissions from greenhouse gases, a cap and trade program is expected to have the greatest impact on manufacturers and supply chain partners but no business or individual will be immune from the drive to lower greenhouse gas emissions. Scientific reports detailing life-threatening scenarios of potential climate disaster and irreparable damage to the planet have spurred President Obama and his team to demand action this year on environmental regulations now moving through Congress.

In June, the U.S. House narrowly passed (219 to 211) the green-energy climate bill HR 2454, referred to by press and public as the Cap and Trade Bill. Heated debate has ensued in the Senate which may or may not bring the matter to a vote before the year ends, despite presidential pressure. Senators, particularly those representing agricultural and coal states, are understandably wary of the potential economic repercussions cap and trade could have on already suffering businesses, particularly manufacturers. Although Congress may drag its feet for another year, most analysts agree that cap and trade will eventually become law.

Savvy businesses are already implementing green programs to curb energy use and switch from gas and diesel-powered equipment to clean energy battery and electric-powered material handling equipment. Even small changes like moving from power-chomping forklifts to green battery-powered motorized carts and powered tugs can add up to a significant plus on your carbon emissions balance sheet. Ergonomically-designed electric material handling equipment like DJ Products’ innovative CartCaddies kills two birds with one stone. They respond to government efforts to reduce carbon emissions and increase worker safety. Win-win!�

Hand in hand with the “go green” movement, the “responsibility revolution” is changing the way Americans shop. Everyone from the companies that supply your parts and materials to the end product consumer is watching how corporations use resources and interact — with the local community and the world at large. Ethical consumerism is on the rise and savvy business owners are paying attention.

An outgrowth of our raised consciousness about the interrelationship of environmental systems, people are paying more attention to how companies are interacting socially with their environment. It’s not enough these days to decrease your carbon footprint and lower your energy consumption, people expect a certain level of social responsibility from the companies they buy from and invest in. The marketplace is replete with examples of companies that have suffered for their lack of social consciousness. Nike attacked for unfair overseas labor practices. Wal-Mart boycotted for unfair labor practices at home. Rabid consumer groups have been quick to call attention to practices they find unethical, tarnishing corporate reputations, forcing management changes and even putting companies out of business.

Smart corporations are working to demonstrate to consumers that they care about the planet and the people they share it with. Implementing a strong ergonomic program and switching to ergonomic equipment that protects the health and safety of your workers is one immediate step companies can take to show their concern for others. Many Americans are looking for improvement and changes in their own back yards. Using local suppliers, contracting with local transport firms, supporting local events and charities, improving the lives of the people you hire — both on the job and off — these actions speak louder than words. They show people that you are a responsible corporate partner in their community and an asset in their daily lives.
