Aims & Scope Editorial board Manuscript submission & Author instructions Abstracted/Indexed in News

WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Assessment & Rehabilitation is an interdisciplinary, international journal which publishes high quality
peer-reviewed manuscripts covering the entire scope of the occupation of work. The journal's subtitle has been deliberately laid out:
The first goal is the prevention of illness, injury, and disability. When this goal is not achievable, the attention focuses on assessment to
design client-centered intervention, rehabilitation, treatment, or controls that use scientific evidence to support best practice. WORK
occasionally publishes thematic issues, but in general, issues cover a wide range of topics such as ergonomic considerations with
children, youth and students, the challenges facing an aging workforce, workplace violence, injury management, performing artists,
ergonomic product evaluations, and the awareness of the political, cultural, and environmental determinants of health related to work.

Dr. Karen Jacobs, the founding editor, and her editorial board especially encourage the publication of research studies, clinical practice,
case study reports, as well as personal narratives and critical reflections of lived work experiences (autoethnographic/autobiographic
scholarship), Sounding Board commentaries and Speaking of Research articles which provide the foundation for better understanding
research to facilitate knowledge dissemination. Narrative Reflections on Occupational Transitions, a new column, is for persons who
have successfully transitioned into, between, or out of occupations to tell their stories in a narrative form. With an internationally
renowned editorial board, WORK maintains high standards in the evaluation and publication of manuscripts. All manuscripts are
reviewed expeditiously and published in a timely manner.WORK prides itself on being an author-friendly journal.

WORK celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2015.

*WORK is affiliated with the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT)*

*WORK is endorsed by the International Ergonomics Association (IEA)*
*WORK gives out the yearly Cheryl Bennett Best Paper Award*

WORK: A Journal of Prevention, Asssessment & Rehabilitation is honored to publish as a supplement, the
Proceedings for the 18th Triennial International Ergonomics Association’s (IEA) Congress. The theme of the
Congress was Designing a Sustainable Future. We must all make a commitment to help design a sustainable fu-
ture. As described on the Congress website;

“As a discipline which is involved in the designing of the interactions among humans and other elements of a
system, ergonomics must consider “sustainability” as a key aspect in optimizing resources to improve human
well-being and overall system performance. So, one of the major challenges in the field of ergonomics for the 21st
Century will be the design and management of systems that satisfy custom demands in terms of the requirements
for human compatibility and at the same time consider sustainability” (www.iea2012.org).

The Congress papers contained in this supplement are a global snap shot of the science-driven and evidence
based research and scholarly work being conducted by practitioners, scientists, researchers, academicians, and
students. All papers are indexed with DOI numbers so they can be easily accessed and will add to the growing
body of evidence in ergonomics.

It has been my pleasure to be part of the IEA’s Executive Committee and the Organizing Committee of this
Congress during Dr. Andy Imada’s term as President. Andy, thank you for your leadership. Congratulations to
Professor Marcelo M. Soares, the Congress Chair, the Congress Organizing Committee, the IEA, the Brazilian
Ergonomics Association and the Union of Latin-American Ergonomics Societies on a successful Congress.

With much admiration,

Karen Jacobs

Ergonomics and sustainability

in the design of everyday use products
Francesca Tosi*,
University of Florence, Faculty of Architecture

Abstract. The relationship between Ergonomics and Design is a key element in the sustainability project, as well as in many
other areas of experimental design. In the Design for Sustainability field, Ergonomics is a strategic factor for design culture
innovation, providing designers with the necessary knowledge and skills regarding human characteristics and capabilities, as
well as user needs and desires during use and interaction with products in work activities and everyday life. Ergonomics is
also a strategic innovative factor in design development and manufacturing processes. In fact, ergonomics provides a metho
dological approach in userproduct interaction evaluation processes through the use of participatory design and survey me
thods, user trials, direct observation, savings and resource conservation, etc.
On the other hand, design offers solutions able to interpret user needs and expectations, at the same time sug
gesting new behaviors and lifestyles.
In Design for Sustainability, the ergonomic and usercentered approach contributes greatly to lifestyles and in
novative use of products  making it possible to understand and interpret real people needs and expectations in
their everyday actions and behavior.
New consumption patterns, new awareness of lifestyles, energy source consumption, purchasing methods and
consumption style etc. can be supported by design innovation, responding to expressed and unexpressed user
needs. With this in mind, the ergonomic approach represents the starting point for design choices and at the
same time, a tool for assessing their appropriateness and effectiveness.
