As a pioneering web site in the ergonomics category, ergoweb.com quickly grew to be a focal point for the ergonomics industry, and remains the most popular ergonomics specific web site to this day. Responding to market demand, Ergoweb began publishing a variety of news and information resources to the ergonomics professional and applied communities, including case studies, a buyer’s guide, general topic web news, and detailed professional subscription based news.
