For those just looking for ergonomics information, there is an excellent
MIL-STD that covers nearly every aspect of human/equipment interface, with
reference dimensions for various percentages of a sample population. It
covers everything from desk height to strength required to turn knobs. I
lost my copy some years ago so I can't supply the document number.

I found the following website http://ergo.human.cornell.edu/
at Cornell that is reasonably close to describing some of the areas
of interest
for the typical product safety professional.
Site includes the following text.
"CUErgo presents information from Ergonomics research studies and
class work,
conducted by the Cornell Human Factors and Ergonomics
Group in the Department of Design and Environmental Analysis at
Cornell
University, on ways to improve usability, comfort, performance and
health, through the ergonomic design of hardware, software, and
workplaces."

I probably was the one who mentioned that engineering
schools should include a 1-term course in product
safety.
Its on my wish-list. I'd like to find even one
engineering school that would consider such a course,
and then I'd volunteer to help create the course.
But, I believe that no engineering school currently
has such a course.
Best regards,
Rich
