Abstract

In multi-disciplinary design projects (e.g. the design of traffic-control rooms) it can be difficult for the applied ergonomist to emphasize the human factor. A workshop with all the members of the project team in an early stage of the project has been shown to improve the cohesiveness in the team during the process. The applied ergonomist should uphold ('market') his ergonomic contributions to those from other disciplines in this workshop. In other stages of the process, the applied ergonomist can act as an intermediary between divergent disciplines, due to his multi-disciplinary approach and know-how. Presentation of concepts and solutions to the client and the end-users should be done in a professional way. This improves feedback and effects a more positive attitude towards the final solution.
