ABSTRACT
There is a need to know more about the practice of ergonomics. This paper will focus on the UK, but the issue is an international one. Many individuals and groups in the UK, from time to time, make statements on the practice of the subject, but all too often the information on which this is based is sketchy. As part of a European project, a study has been carried out to assess the current situation with regard to university courses in ergonomics (Stammers & Tomkinson, 2001).
