Workplace safety and ergonomics research training programs reaccredited

Two research training programs associated with the Center for Occupational Safety, Ergonomics and Injury Prevention at Auburn University, housed in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, or ISE, have been reaccredited for another six-year term. The programs are “Occupational Safety & Ergonomics” and “Occupational Injury Prevention,” and both are sponsored by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.

The programs earned reaccreditation from the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, an interdisciplinary nonprofit organization devoted to the disciplines of human factors and ergonomics. ISE faculty submitted a portfolio describing the curriculum for each program to HFES, along with information on practical experience within the program. The portfolio was reviewed and approved by the HFES Accreditation Committee.
