Dear Friends,

Ergonomics or Human factor is the study of the physical and cognitive demands of work to ensure a safe and productive workplace. It aims at making overall work system more user-friendly and reliable. It also entails evaluation of human facilities, jobs, work methods and environment and equipment to match with the physical, physiological and psycho-sociological capabilities of users and thereby reduce fatigue, errors, discomfort and unsafe operation. Ergonomics thus has the potential of becoming a driving force for the efficient achievement of personal and organizational goals.

Indian Society of Ergonomics (ISE) has started a series of conferences termed as Humanizing Work and Work Environment (HWWE) with a broad perspective to share the common concerns for contemporary human factor issues.

Keeping in mind the above objectives, University of Calcutta, Department of Physiology is now organizing HWWE 2009 at Kolkata. The aim of this conference is to provide a platform to scientists, researchers and practitioners to exchange their views and experiences. We invite you to participate in this conference to be held in December 17-19, 2009 at University of Calcutta.
