The Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Diversity Committee is entering its fourth year and continuing ways to improve diversity within the society as well as promote inclusive excellence within the HFE profession. Building on the annual meeting content from the committee’s first two years, 2019’s alternative format session on “HFE in Diversity, Inclusion and Social Justice: A Practical Primer” facilitated discussion amongst attendees about practical knowledge related to conducting diversity, inclusion, and social justice research. At the end of the session, a questionnaire was administered to gather input for future annual meeting programming. A topic of interest that emerged included promoting inclusion in HFE training, education, and the profession as a whole. Therefore, with input from past participants, this panel brings together researchers, experts, and HFES leadership to discuss challenges related to inclusion and accessibility within the society and profession, as well as how to move forward to address these challenges.

Complex user needs are often found at the intersection of safety and job performance. This is particularly so for combat medics who need to remain safe while providing en route casualty care in a ground vehicle during mission operations. The following practitioner’s case report describes how subject matter expert interviews, hierarchical task analyses, and a simulated workspace observation were used to uncover unique requirements to inform a design concept for new medic seating. The solution allows medics to perform life-saving interventions while harnessed in an energy attenuating system. Conclusions highlight on-going challenges designing systems to satisfy conflicting requirements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
