In: “International Encyclopedia of Ergonomics and Human Factors (2nd. edition)”, edited by Waldemar Karwowsky, New York, Taylor and Francis. 2006. ISBN: 0849392446. Abstract: The origins of Ergonomics in Brazil were presented by Anamaria de Moraes and Marcelo Soares (1989) in the book entitled “Ergonomia no Brasil e no mundo: um quadro, uma fotografia” (Ergonomics in Brazil and in the world: a picture, a photograph), where the authors state that the first initiatives towards the implementation of the discipline in Brazil took place within the industrial design and engineering fields, especially manufacturing engineering. In their investigation of early Brazilian Ergonomics history, the authors gathered information by interviewing several precursors and concluded that six main sources were responsible for the dissemination of Ergonomics in Brazil.
