Matching work and workers has long been a focus in the
SH&E community. Applying ergonomics principles can reduce stress and repetition,
and keep workers healthier. ISO’s new 26800:2011 standard, Ergonomics: General Approach,
Principles and Concepts, is an umbrella reference designed to provide an
integrated framework bringing together the basic principles and concepts of
ergonomics in one, giving practitioners a high-level view of the way in which
ergonomics is applied. Learn more about the standard here and here.
