International Ergonomics Association World Conference '93
ERGONOMICS
OF MATERIALS HANDLING
An Interdisciplinary Forum to Review Human and
Technical Aspects of Repetitive Manual and Automated Handling
of Loads and Hand Tool Manipulation
14-18 June 1993
Warsaw, POLAND
Organized by
Industrial Ergonomics Technical Group
of the Science & Technology Committee,
International Ergonomics Association
In cooperation with Polish Ergonomics Society and
Central Institute for Labour Protection, Warsaw, Poland
OBJECTIVES
You are cordially invited to participate in the interdisciplinary IEA
World Conference on Ergonomics of Materials Handling '93.
The main objective of this comprehensive Conference is to provide an
