The Philippine Ergonomics Society

In March 6, 2001, a group of ergonomics enthusiasts from the industry and academe envisioned the following activities of the Philippine Ergonomics Society (PHILERGO)

       

I. Set-up a Philippines Ergonomics Society

s         link with “experts” and practitioners (industry, government, academe)

s         link with resources (universities, companies, LGU, NGO, fund agencies)

II.     Formulate Work Standards

s         Philippine anthropometric data

s         baseline data/statistics related to ergonomics injuries, illnesses, accidents and disabilities

s         ergonomics standards

III. Promote Ergonomics via newsletters, web sites, company talks, demonstrations, and seminars

At present, PHILERGO is still actively pursuing this vision.
