Human Factors and Ergonomics Standards

Abstract

Have you ever wondered about HF/E standards – what they address, how to access them, how they are developed, and how they can help you in your job or research? Given the enhanced HFES focus on getting research into practice and how the desire for achieving that goal could affect the author instructions for HFES publications, this is a critical topic for both researchers and practitioners.

Join us in this informative panel discussion to learn the answers to these and other questions about the world of HF/E standards activities. The panelists, representing the spectrum of HF/E standards involvement, will discuss the different standards development activities and the bodies that produce standards. Also discussed will be the unique challenges of standards work, including working with international colleagues, understanding and identifying stakeholders for standards works, and translating research and data into usable methods and information for practitioners. The discussion will conclude with information about how attendees can get involved in standards work.
