AB  - Many companies around the world that develop different types of products still do not apply ergonomics at all during this process, or apply it on an intuitive basis. Very few companies are aware of the importance of engaging ergonomists in the design team, as well as the benefits that can be achieved on that basis. With this in mind, this paper aims to point out the role of ergonomics and ergonomists in the design of consumer products. A novel model that refers to the phases of designing a product has been presented, for the purpose of showing how and when ergonomics can be applied during the design process. For each phase, examples have also been given. In addition, the paper identifies potential reasons that have influenced the current situation referring to the insufficient application of ergonomics in the designing of consumer products. This paper could serve as a guide for the implementation of ergonomics and engagement of ergonomists in the process of product designing.

AB  - The topic of this paper is the EU Machinery Directive (MD) and the contribution of ergonomics and the Federation of European Ergonomics Societies (FEES) to the development of this Directive. At the beginning, the contribution of FEES to the process of development of this Directive is considered through the analysis of the activities of this European organization so far. Then, the key changes envisaged by the new MD were discussed, as well as the possible consequences of the planned changes. Aspects of the inclusion of artificial intelligence in MD, as well as the effects of MD on Industry 4.0 have also been taken into account. In addition, certain future possible contributions of ergonomics for the improvement of MD have been identified, primarily those based on the analysis of errors in the human - machine system.
