GfA-Press

GfA-Press is the publication imprint associated with the Gesellschaft für Arbeitswissenschaft e.V. (GfA), the German scientific society for work science (Arbeitswissenschaft). The GfA is a scientific association of researchers, practitioners, interest groups, regulatory representatives and other interested parties whose stated aim is to promote work science — the analysis, ordering and design of work equipment and work processes, taking technical, organisational and social conditions into account. Its scope spans engineering, psychological, medical and didactic disciplines as well as economic and social science questions, and it is committed to individual occupational and health protection, the social adequacy of work, and technical-economic rationality. GfA-Press serves as the society's publishing arm. Its best-known output is the Tagungsband — the conference proceedings volume produced for the GfA's annual congresses (Frühjahrskongress), which collect the papers presented at these events and are a standard reference for German-language work science research. The imprint also covers other specialist publications tied to the society's activities. The society is based at the Geschäftsstelle der GfA e.V., Alte Heerstraße 111, 53757 Sankt Augustin, Germany, and has its seat at the DGUV Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (IFA). Internationally, the GfA is organised within the Federation of European Ergonomics Societies (FEES) and the International Ergonomics Association (IEA). Alongside GfA-Press, the society publishes the Zeitschrift für Arbeitswissenschaft (ZfA), a peer-reviewed journal, and runs events such as the Herbstkonferenz and the Frühjahrskongress, as well as the GfA-NEXT programme for early-career members. As a brand, GfA-Press is not a commercial publisher in the conventional sense but a scholarly society imprint: its purpose is to disseminate the proceedings and findings of the GfA community rather than to generate profit. Its audience is primarily German-speaking academics, ergonomists, occupational health and safety professionals, and practitioners in workplace design.
