Study Notes
TAFEI analysis
- The TAFEI analysis is still being developed and used in reports
- The Handbook of Ergonomics Methods originated after "A Guide to Methodology in Ergonomics" was published
Handbook of Ergonomics Methods
- The handbook originated in 2000
- Experts in ergonomics methods provided contributions to the handbook
- The handbook provides a standardized format for reporting ergonomic methods
- The handbook aims to encourage the development of more methods and for users to explore methods further

Macroergonomic Methods
- Several books on Human-Computer Interaction have been published
- There are several books on occupational ergonomics
- There are several books on task analysis
- There are several books on Human Factors and Ergonomics
Physical Methods
- The OWPAS (Ovako Working Posture Analysis System) method involves observation and sampling of tasks by estimating injury risks
- The PEO (Portable Ergonomics Observation) method involves recording postures and evaluating manual handling activities
- Ergonomic design changes to equipment or workplace layout can be quantified to measure the success of the changes
- PDAs can be used to generate ergonomic reports on workspaces
- The Borg Ratings of Perceived Exertion scale quantifies effort involved in physical work
- The Muscle Fatigue Assessment method characterizes discomfort and identifies how workers change their behaviour to cope with fatigue
