The Laboratory of Ergonomics and Occupational Safety (www.ergolab-unitus.com), established within the Department of Agricultural and Forestry Sciences, is a vital research and service structure supporting both academic and local communities. It focuses on the study of ergonomics and the safety of machinery and work environments, particularly in agricultural, agro-industrial, and forestry contexts.
Research activities include evaluating physical, chemical, and biological hazards in the workplace, with the goal of improving occupational health and safety. The lab also contributes to developing best practices for the design and use of equipment, fostering safer work conditions through ergonomic analysis and risk assessments.
In addition to research, the laboratory plays a key role in training students and professionals, offering educational programs on risk prevention and management in agricultural settings. It collaborates with external organizations and companies to provide consultancy and advanced technical services aimed at enhancing safety standards and compliance with regulations.
The laboratory integrates field studies with the latest technologies, promoting the adoption of safety innovations across the agricultural sector. Through its interdisciplinary approach, it contributes to improving workplace safety and efficiency, reducing accidents, and promoting well-being in the agricultural and forestry sectors.
