What is Vehicle Ergonomics?

Vehicle ergonomics focuses on adapting the driver’s environment within the vehicle for optimal safety, comfort, and performance across various terrains and driving scenarios that they will drive on in New South Wales. This includes configuring seat positioning, controls layout, and driver-vehicle interaction to minimise discomfort and reduce the risk of injuries, particularly during extended periods of driving.

Clothing and Footwear: Impact on Driving Ergonomics

In New South Wales’ varying climate, choosing suitable clothing and footwear is important for driving comfort and safety. As part of your Vehicle Ergonomic assessment Employ Health will recommend breathable, non-restrictive clothing to accommodate temperature fluctuations, and supportive footwear to ensure precise pedal control. These choices are essential in assisting comfort, posture and vehicle control.
