Established in 1990 as an independent nonprofit organization, the BCPE is the certifying body for individuals whose education and experience indicate broad expertise in the practice of human factors/ergonomics. To date, more than 1,500 professionals have successfully met BCPE’s certification criteria and been awarded one of the following distinguished credentials: Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE), Certified Human Factors Professional (CHFP), Certified User Experience Professional (CUXP), Associate Ergonomics Professional (AEP), Associate Human Factors Professional (AHFP), Associate User Experience Professional (AUXP) or Certified Ergonomics Associate (CEA).

The UC Ergonomics Research & Training Program engages in research, education and consulting services to understand the mechanisms leading to musculoskeletal and cardio-metabolic disorders, then identify and evaluate environment, designs and work practices that reduce the risk of ill health while optimizing human performance. As a NIOSH ERC, we offer graduate student support and a variety of continuing education opportunities.

The Ergonomics Center is a client-based organization housed in the College of Engineering at North Carolina State University. The Center’s highly experienced, board-certified ergonomists provide the highest quality ergonomics consulting, training programs and research for companies throughout the world. Our services include onsite training, job and task analysis, program development, engineering design guidelines, and cost-saving solutions for both industrial and office ergonomics.

Industrial Hygiene in the Workplace is an independent, six-times-a-year publication that focuses on issues important to industrial hygienists, plant managers, safety managers, environmental engineers and maintenance managers. Core topics include respiratory protection, gas detection, confined spaces, lab safety, wearable smart PPE, safety technology, chemical protection, ergonomics, safety culture – along with expert thought leadership pieces.

OSHA personnel are available to discuss ongoing initiatives supporting OSHA’s mission to assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, providing training, outreach, and compliance assistance.
