Previously he worked for the CEGB Central Research Laboratory and the OECD Halden Reactor Project. He is a past Chairman of Council of the Ergonomics Society and is visiting lecturer in Ergonomics at University College London. Ed is a practical ergonomist and is always keen to encourage clients to learn and apply ergonomics techniques themselves. His infectious enthusiasm and energy in pursuit of ergonomics are a hallmark of his work.
