Ergonomics Excellence Centre (EEC) has started at NIOSH Southern Regional Office Johor Bahru on 1st January 2013. The Main aim for establishment of EEC is to be the centre of excellence for ergonomics in Malaysia.
To provide the best reference laboratory facility for research and consultancy in the field of ergonomics.
To provide the necessary competencies required by R&D and services staff in the various sub-disciplines of ergonomics to elevate current competencies thereby meeting the growing demand for experts in such fields.
To become a Centre of Excellence and reference in the field of ergonomics in Malaysia
