Faculty Review Copy

This laboratory manual is designed for students pursuing occupational health and safety, environmental health and safety, engineering, and technology degrees. It aims to enhance their understanding of human anatomy, the impact of daily workplace activities on bodily systems, and how those factors affect work productivity. Additionally, the book will benefits psychology students and other STEM-focused students interested in expanding their knowledge about aligning job roles with workers' capabilities and the associated activities. While many excellent laboratory manuals focus on ergonomics, this particular manual approaches the subject from the perspective of an individual with extensive academic experience, engineering expertise, and industrial knowledge in occupational health and safety. It reflects the insights of someone who has successfully integrated theoretical knowledge with practical application, facilitating student success in their academic pursuits. 

Ergonomics Laboratory Manual for College Students offers a comprehensive, step-by-step guide for writing laboratory reports and essential guidelines to ensure report quality. It includes thirteen critical points for adequate PowerPoint preparation and presentation. Each laboratory experiment is structured to outline student learning objectives, the lab's aims, the estimated data collection time, the necessary equipment types for each activity, and clear explanations for ease of understanding. Furthermore, it provides a grading rubric for laboratory instructors or faculty overseeing the laboratory exercises.

Bankole K Fasanya

Dr. Bankole K. Fasanya is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering and Industrial Professions at the University of North Alabama (UNA). ​ He earned both his Master’s and Ph.D. in Industrial and Systems Engineering, specializing in Ergonomics and Human Factors, with a minor in Noise and Auditory Processes. Before his tenure at UNA, he served as an Assistant Professor at Purdue University Northwest within the Department of Construction Science and Organizational Leadership, focusing on Environmental Health and Safety. Additionally, he has experience as a Senior Research Associate at the US Army Aeromedical Research Laboratory in the Auditory Protection and Performance Division in Fort Rucker, Alabama, and as a research and teaching faculty member at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.

Dr. Fasanya's teaching and research interests encompass a range of topics, including workplace ergonomics evaluation, applied ergonomics, human factors, occupational health and safety, auditory protection and performance, industrial safety, noise control, design of experiments, industrial hygiene, work physiology, data analysis, STEM education, lean manufacturing, and Six Sigma principles. He has over ten years of experience in noise control and auditory process research, as well as workplace ergonomics. His research focuses specifically on how factors such as noise exposure (intensity, frequency, and duration), stress, time, work activities, and gender differences influence human behavior and performance in various environments, both natural and human-induced. His long-term research goal is to develop a comprehensive model and guidelines aimed at reducing environmental hazards and enhancing safety and health in the workplace.

Dr. Fasanya has published numerous articles and presented his research at various national and international conferences. Notably, one of his research projects received the Outstanding Poster Research Award at the National Hearing Conservation Association (NHCA) annual conference in 2020.

He is an OSHA-authorized trainer, a Certified Occupational Hearing Conservationist, and holds certifications in Six Sigma and lean manufacturing. Additionally, Dr. Fasanya is a Carnegie Africa Diaspora Fellow and has developed and taught several courses in engineering and occupational health and safety programs.
