Work is a big part of our lives, and no matter where our workplace is, we are affected by the surrounding physical, social and organisational environment. However, no one should be harmed or become ill from their work – on the contrary, it should enrich our lives and contribute to better health. Our department has a wide range of different research areas that aim to understand and improve the work

Air pollution in the form of airborne particles – aerosols – is today an important aspect of many of our major societal challenges, such as sustainable cities, healthy indoor and working environments, clean energy production and reduced climate impact. As researchers in this field, we carry out both laboratory and field studies using measurement techniques ranging from small simple sensors to adva

In this field, we focus on identifying and managing risk and safety issues – in workplaces and in large complex systems. An important starting point for us is the interaction between human, technology and organisation, also known as HTO or Human factors. We aim to contribute to measures for increased safety and sustainability.Our research often reaches across different disciplines where we collabo

In this field, we research interactions between human, technology and organisation and how this can be improved to make healthcare more sustainable. We carry out our studies in close co-operation with healthcare practitioners, which often inspire our research questions. Many of the projects are about change and improvement processes and how they affect the work and work environment. These changes

Advances in computer graphics, sensors and display technology have enabled us to ‘trick’ the human mind into thinking it is in a virtual reality. This Virtual Reality (VR) technology allows us to simulate realistic environments, objects and social situations. In our research, we study how people interact and react in virtual environments. This can involve people's behaviour as well as their physic

We study health effects, thermal comfort and work performance in cold and hot environments. We also develop strategies to prevent cold and heat stress, and test how different protective clothing and products perform in extreme environments. Most of our research is conducted in the aerosol and climate laboratory at LTH, which includes a climate chamber that can simulate environments with temperatur

In this field, we conduct research on people, technology, pedagogy and design for an inclusive society. We want to contribute to an increased equality by using a person's perspective as our starting point and conduct research in the specific situation of a person's life. Through our research, we work for an equal society where no one is left out. People have different abilities, and these can vary

Why is visual ergonomics important?The visual environment affects us in many ways. Almost half of us are more sensitive to visual stimuli than others and thus have a higher degree of eyestrain, headaches, neck and shoulder discomfort. There is a direct link between eyestrain and neck and shoulder problems when we have to strain our eyes for close-up work. This increases the muscle activity in the
