Can we really opt in terms of ergonomic methodologies and/or approaches?

摘要

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the discussion of the supposed epistemological conflict among ergonomic approaches. The supposed unifying lemma of ergonomics - fit the task to the humans - in reality set us in front of serious dilemmas concerning the adequate choice of pertinent tools. Considering the singularity of the majority of micro-ergonomics approaches, Ergonomics work analysis and Macroergonomics, we shows an alternative approach - the ergonomic screening - enlightened by two case studies in building and in a process plant. In conclusion, some major advise should be outlined, under a practitioner point of view: a) obtaining a few positives results is much better than have no results at all; b) The present is the door for the past as well as it leads to the Future, c) Beginning is just a start, but we must do it before proceeding.
