What is NEM? |
| |
|
| |
Human Factors and Ergonomics
Society (HFES) has designated October of
every year to be National Ergonomics Month
(NEM). The purpose of NEM is to focus on promoting
human factors and ergonomics to corporate executives,
students, and the general public by providing information and
services to the community. |
| |
|
| |
Is Human Factors included in NEM? |
| |
|
| |
Yes. More completely NEM could have been called National
Human Factors and Ergonomics Month, but for convenience the
shorter name is being used. The shorter name is more effective
since many people already believe Ergonomics and Human Factors
are synonymous. |

Teachers, Reporters, HFES Members, Students, Community, Industry, Government Leaders, and Consumers |
