There is an absence of any ergonomics resource in North Wales. Canary Designs intends to use the Hwb Ergonomeg as a focal point for people interested in ergonomics design thinking.

Canary designs was contacted by the Airbus Industrial Academy – ME Faculty Learning Development Manager and Airbus UK head of human factors to review an existing Ergonomics and Manufacturing Engineering Course.

The idea to build a simulator springs from John’s industrial placement at the Centre for Human Sciences in 1998, where the use of simulators was necessary for understanding human system interaction.

Canary Designs Principal Consultant John Lovegrove provided support to the court by identifying the steps required to understand the nature of the work associated with being a sewing machinist at the Defendants premises, the associated risks to the Claimant’s health and whether or not the Defendants controls to reduce the risk of developing ULD’s were effective.

Principal consultant John Lovegrove at Canary Designs was contacted by Stewarts Law LLP to assist the high court, Queens’s Bench Division by investigating a fall from height.

For all projects, the starting point is always the design team, Canary designs formed part of a multi-disciplined design team.  The focus for Canary is to establish the role of the human in the overall system design, to establish whether the allocation function is feasible for the humans in the loop to achieve and maintain system safety and integrity.

Canary Designs was asked by Hebog Environmental to conduct an Ergonomic Assessment of their laboratory and office space. Hebog are an independent marine biology laboratory that specialises in benthic ecology and benthic taxonomy.

Edge Hill university contracted Canary Designs to review a participant’s day to day tasks, as they have been experiencing upper body musculoskeletal discomfort over a period of 12 years.

The case involved working with a client which is in a wheelchair and wishes to use his camera equipment to capture aircraft at air shows and events. They have previously attempted to makeshift with a selfie stick that has been modified, however it was deemed to not be very useable as it did not offer them the versatility which they wanted and was difficult to operate.

Canary Designs partnered up with Nottingham Trent University to undertake an ergonomic assessment of the E-Class MKII exclusively operating on the river Thames in London. This is the busiest lifeboat station in the country, the E-Class MKII helps to save lives day in and day out.

Canary Designs partnered with Nottingham Trent University to help with the Severn Life Extension Plan (SLEP) Programme. The current design offers an accommodation of approximately 65%, and the aim of the task from the client is to increase that to 95% accommodation of the target population.

Canary Designs partnered with Nottingham Trent University to undertake an ergonomic review of the Trent Class wheelhouse. The Trent class boat was introduced in 1984 to replace the Arun and Waveney with an operating range of 80km and a top speed of 25 knots

This project, the starting point was the design team and their knowledge of human factors. Canary designs then formed part of a multi-disciplined design team. The focus for Canary is to establish the role of the human in the overall system design, to establish whether the allocation function is feasible for the humans in the loop to achieve and maintain system safety and integrity.

Canary Designs has conducted several ergonomic assessments, ranging from speed boats to large rescue boats.

Canary Designs was approached by Hebog Environmental to conduct an Ergonomic Assessment of a Marine Biology Laboratory in the aim to improve the working environment for their employees.

The primary goal when designing this solution was to try and incorporate both the cameras you want to use into the design solution.

Canary Designs have supported Magnox since June 2011 on CAT III Nuclear safety categorised projects at Bradwell A, Dungeness A, and Hinkley Point A.
