Welcome to the Forensics Professional Group (FPG)

The FPG consists of people interested in all aspects of human factors as applied to litigation matters, both civil and criminal.

The goal is to bring ergonomic data and approaches to the investigation of losses influenced by design or by human limitations. Arguments may be presented on the degree to which a design meets current standards and known limitations and capabilities of the prospective users. The features and provisions for safety, instructions, and foreseeable misuses are also examined.

Announcements

The next FPG meeting will take place during the 56th Annual Meeting of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society, October 22 - 26, 2012 at the Westin Boston Waterfront, Boston, MA. All proposals are due March 19, 2012.
