Ergonomists and safety professionals apply principles of Human Factors/Ergonomics (HF/E) to assess risk and prevent or minimize the occurrence of injuries. Forensics is a practice area through which those professionals can contribute to improving workplace safety, and safety in product and process design, through the legal system. Come learn about the forensic expert witness process and the application of selected HF/E principles and tools in litigation. And hear examples from real litigation cases that demonstrate the role of HF/E in our judicial system.
