Title
Introduction to Human Factors Engineering and different types of equipment
used in Ergonomic Lab

Introduction
Human factors engineering, or human engineering, is concerned with ways of designing
machines, operations, and work environments so that they match human capacities and
limitations.
It’s also called Anthropometry

The interface is accomplished by :


 Make the Man fit the job
 Selection
 Training
 Motivation
 Make Job fit the Man/ Women
 Adjustability
 Load Regulation

Equipments
1. Treadmill
A treadmill is a device generally for walking or running or climbing while staying in the
same place.

2. Sound Level Meter


A sound level meter is used for acoustic measurements. It is commonly a hand-held
instrument with a microphone.
3. Lux meter:
Lux meters are used for measuring brightness in lux, fc or cd/m².

4. Sphygmomanometer:
A blood pressure meter, blood pressure monitor, or blood pressure gauge, is a device
used to measure blood pressure.

5. Heart rate monitor:


A device used to monitor heart rate.

6. EEG module:
This module is used to monitor brain activity.

7. ECG module:
This device is used to monitor heart activity.

8. MedGem:
The MedGem is a fist-size device that measures VO2 as a patient breathes through it
using either a facemask or mouthpiece.

9. EMG module:
A module that is used to measure muscle activity.

10. Oxygen saturation module:


A module that measure the amount of oxygen carried in blood.

11. Hygrometer:
A meter that is used to measured humidity.

12. Barometer:
An instrument measuring atmospheric pressure.

13. Thermometer:
A meter used to measure temperature.

14. Stethoscope:
Used to listen to lung and heart songs.

15. GSR module:


Measures rate of transpiration.
