The Ergonomist
'The Ergonomist' is the monthly newsletter of the Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors, delivered free to all IEHF members. Some of the contents of the newsletter are made available on this web site, for example, articles and the diary of events. Other information, such as full job ads, is provided under restricted access to members of the IEHF.
'The Ergonomist' contains latest news about ergonomics. Many people head straight for the job advertisements, but there is plenty more to browse over, including:
- Articles - current affairs in ergonomics.
- Grapevine - members' news and job moves.
- Member letters - readers' comments on current events or topics of interest.
- IEHF news - what's happening within the Institute and what our plans are.
- Books for review - a large range of books is listed periodically that members can apply to review (and receive a free copy, of course).
- Regional Groups news - reports, news and events happening in your area.
- Events - information on ergonomics and human factors related conferences and events, national and international.
- Diversions - a look at the lighter side.
- Contacts - who's who in the Institute.

"I was very impressed with the service that we received from 'The Ergonomist' - and you and the team were particularly helpful, easy to work with, and reasonable in your rates for advertising. So overall, a strong thumbs up - I filled the job, learned a lot about ergonomists and enjoyed working with you." Stephen Townsend, Human Resources Manager
