DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW
The UC Human Factors & Ergonomics Program is a joint program of the Division of Occupational, Environmental and Climate Medicine in the Department of Medicine at UC San Francisco and the Division of Environmental Health Sciences in the School of Public Health at UC Berkeley. The lab's primary location is the Richmond Field Station in the East Bay. We are part of the Northern California Center of Occupational and Environmental Health and have a team of approximately 20 students and staff at any given time. Our program prepares students from engineering, public health, and medicine in human factors and ergonomics, with a focus on understanding the relationship between biomechanical exposures and injuries and on reducing injuries through prevention-through-design strategies. DUTIES & ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS Identify the functions or tasks that employees in the job perform. The essential functions should state the purpose of the work and the results to be accomplished, rather than how the function is performed. Of the tasks listed, what percentage of time is devoted to each? The more time employees spend on a function, the more likely it is that the function is essential. Generally, include those functions that account for 10% or more of the work, i.e., key items that contribute significantly to the achievement of the job. The functions should add up to 100%.
