Dr Stephven Kolose, Chair of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of New Zealand will be joining us to discuss the role of Ergonomists. When, why and how you’d engage an Ergonomist to support you and your workplace.


Bio

Stephen is a Principal Ergonomist at Construction Health and Safety New Zealand (CHASNZ). His passion for human factors and ergonomics (HFE) stemmed from curiosity about poor design in cockpits, and workplace injuries observed when working in the meat works as a student.

He worked as an Ergonomist (WorkSafe NZ), Human factors scientist (NZDF), Research associate (Sports Performance Research Institute, AUT) and HF consultant in Bristol and New Zealand. He holds a PhD in Anthropometry (developed a 3D body sizing survey to estimate military clothing size and fit), MSc in Ergonomics (studying HF integration among ergonomists, designers, engineers and safety teams at Rolls Royce Submarine division, UK), PGDipErg, and BSc in Psychology.

Stephven was recently appointed as Chair of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of New Zealand (HFESNZ) where he intends to help foster positive collaborations with ‘like-minded’ professions in New Zealand.
