About the programme

There are many opportunities in our living environment that can be improved to prevent accidents and make it more inclusive for the elderly and children. 

The objective of this workshop is to identify opportunities for improvement and suggest actionable solutions. Human Factors & Ergonomics Society of Singapore (HFESS) will share its experiences in identifying issues and making improvements to living environments. 

During the workshop, HFESS will lead the participants outside the library premises to provide hands-on experience. Upon returning, participants will engage in a collaborative session to discuss their findings and brainstorm innovative design solutions to address these challenges effectively.
