In my mind, and this will get you started, the biggest issue facing us today is the use of 'outsourced labor' in such industries as IT and manufacturing. The big concern is that a product can be manufactured outside of the country, for a huge cost saving. Labor costs across the globe are far from equal which means that a company can maximize it's profits by reducing production costs. Many manufacturing companies have been doing this for years by taking advantage of ridculously low production costs in China. The trend started to spread to the IT sector in the 1990s when Indian labor became a viable option. Today, when you call a product support number, or even when you call your bank, you may find that you are speaking with an individual in Bangalore.\n\nOne obvious concern is that no attention is paid to domestic unemployment which is bound to increase as a result. To put that into context, you may have an engineer or a software programmer who has studied for years, suddenly find him/herself in an ever diminishing job market.\n\nAnother issue that has been evident for some time is the use of 'sweat shops' in foreign countries to produce clothing and footware. Nike has been accused of using ultra-cheap labor to produce its shoes, for instance. And, did you know that 'The Simpsons' is partly produced in Korea?

If I were you, I'd try the Miami Industrial Sewing Machines Corporation.  That might be a good place to start.

Call OSHA. Tell them the company you're working for and supply them all the details of address, phone, etc.\n\nThen tell them your boss will only hand out flip flops.\n\nYou'll find out really quick what you should be wearing.\n\nOR you could just ask your employer!!!

Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance (definition adopted by the International Ergonomics Association in 2000).\n\nErgonomists contribute to the design and evaluation of tasks, jobs, products, environments and systems in order to make them compatible with the needs, abilities and limitations of people (IEA, 2000).\n\n\n\n\n\nDomains\nThe IEA divides ergonomics broadly into three domains:\n\nPhysical ergonomics deals with the human body's responses to physical and physiological loads. Relevant topics include manual materials handling, workstation layout, job demands, and risk factors such as repetition, vibration, force and awkward/static posture as they relate to musculoskeletal disorders (see repetitive strain injury).\n\nCognitive ergonomics, also known as engineering psychology, concerns mental processes such as perception, attention, cognition, motor control, and memory storage and retrieval as they affect interactions among humans and other elements of a system. Relevant topics include mental workload, vigilance, decision-making, skilled performance, human error, human-computer interaction, and training.\n\nOrganizational ergonomics, or macroergonomics, is concerned with the optimization of sociotechnical systems, including their organizational structures, policies, and processes. Relevant topics include shift work, scheduling, job satisfaction, motivational theory, supervision, teamwork, telework and ethics.\n\n\nHistory\nItalian Bernardino Ramazinni (1633-1714) became the first physician to write about work-related injuries and illnesses in his 1700 publication, "De Morbis Artificum (Diseases of Workers)". Ramazinni was ostracized by his fellow doctors for visiting the workplaces of his patients in order to identify the causes of their disorders. The term ergonomics (from the Greek words ergon [work] and nomoi [natural laws]) first entered the modern lexicon when Wojciech Jastrzębowski used the word in his 1857 article Rys ergonomji czyli nauki o pracy, opartej na prawdach poczerpniętych z Nauki Przyrody (adapted from a previous version of this page).\n\nLater in the 19th century, Frederick Taylor pioneered the "Scientific Management" method, an approach that sought the single best method to perform a job and its tasks. By incrementally reducing the size and weight of coal shovels until the optimum shoveling rate was reached, Taylor tripled the amount of coal that workers could shovel in a day. Frank and Lilian Gilbreth, in the early 1900s, expanded Taylor's methods to develop "Time and Motion Studies" that aimed to improve efficiency by eliminating unnecessary steps and actions. By applying this approach, the Gilbreths reduced the number of motions in bricklaying from 18 to 4.5, allowing bricklayers to increase their pace of laying bricks from 120 to 350 bricks per hour.\n\nWorld War II marked the advent of highly sophisticated machines and weaponry, creating previously unseen cognitive demands on operators in terms of decision-making, attention, situational awareness and hand-eye coordination. It was observed that perfectly working aircraft, flown by the best-trained pilots, still crashed. In 1943, Alphonse Chapanis, a lieutenant in the U.S. Army, showed that "pilot error" could be greatly reduced when more logical and differentiable controls replaced confusing designs in airplane cockpits.\n\nIn the decades following the war and leading to today, ergonomics has continued to flourish and diversify. The Space Age created new human factors issues such as weightlessness and extreme G-forces. To what extent could these environments be tolerated and what effects would they have on the mind and body?
