As a celebration of the award of Chartered status to the Institute of Ergonomics & Human Factors, a selection of members of the CIEHF have nominated what they consider to be the best examples of human centred design of products, experiences, services or systems that they have encountered in their work and lives.

Now we invite CIEHF members to vote on which you think is the human centred design that best represents a celebration of ergonomics and human factors. Please see the nominations and vote below by 18th February.

Royal Mail postal delivery service

It is remarkable that it is possible to post a letter in one place in the UK and for it to be delivered anywhere else in the country less than 24 hours later.

And delivered to the recipient’s door, with a process that is simple and convenient for the user.

With over 100,000 post boxes, 30 million addresses and 50 million plus items delivered each day, this is an amazing feat.

A feat that has benefited greatly from Royal Mail’s in house ergonomics expertise, from the design of sorting equipment through to the postman/woman’s delivery bag.

Although mail volumes are declining, the Royal Mail Delivery Service should be celebrated as the forerunner of widespread delivery logistics on which we now all depend.

Nominated by Roger Haslam, Fellow

"ergonomics expertise"?
I can think of few less ergonomic things than the delivery bag, carrying a weight over one shoulder (on loops that are not designated for the trolley) has to be very bad for the human body.
