Ergonomics and Ageing in the Work Environment

While the economy is facing an increasing shortage of workforce on the one hand, people are getting increasingly older on the other. This requires systematic approaches to keep employees active in the work process for a longer period. Research at Linz Campus is investigating how active workers can be supported within this social transformation through ergonomic, gradually adapted, gentle and social measures. For example, the prevention of increasingly age-related accidents like falling also plays a key role here.
