State of Science: ergonomics and global issues https://t.co/qtU6hlKU28

[Andrew Thatcher @profthatcher]

Yup. And the converse is true too. If we resolve problems in one area it can have knock-on effects for other areas. https://t.co/2O8XIWfqX3

[Rhys Thomas @DrGetafix]

Humans and the environment are a complex system. Problems in one area, leads to problems in others. #sustainable #ergonomics #HFESA2017

[Andrew Thatcher @profthatcher]

Actually, my figures were a bit off here, it’s 4.8 earths, but the point is still made - the number is bigger than we have. Frighteningly, my personal footprint (if everyone was to live like me) is 5.3 earths (mostly air travel) https://t.co/O1dqdfeV0U

[Rhys Thomas @DrGetafix]

If everyone lived like Australians, we’d need 7 earths! The rich have caused the problems, so have the moral responsibility and the means to fix it. #sustainable #ergonomics #HFESA2017

[Andrew Thatcher @profthatcher]

It’s easy, we just have to apply HFE to the issues https://t.co/P8N5etlBNb

[Rhys Thomas @DrGetafix]

Getting people on bikes is great for humans and the environment. But it's not always easy! #sustainable #ergonomics #HFESA2017 Prof A Thatcher

[Andrew Thatcher @profthatcher]

I’m hoping these issues get some airtime https://t.co/04uM1v2dJo

#Sustainable #Ergonomics. As the climate warms it will become more chaotic. This will make it more difficult to design safe work #HFESA2017 Prof Andrew Thatcher

[Andrew Thatcher @profthatcher]

@atsmath It was an explosives factory doing routine testing - Joburg is still primarily built on mining

[Andrew Thatcher @profthatcher]

@binmugahid "cat food" is a reference to the drug ketamine with the street name of "cat", multiple afrikaans words (doos, kak, etc.)
