Checklist: How to effectively engage and use expert witnesses



Congratulations to Mark Dohrmann for being appointed as the newest Fellow of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia (HFESA).
Ergonomics is the science of creating environments, tools, and systems that fit the human body’s capabilities and limitations both physical and psychological.
A Letter of Instruction (LOI) is a formal document given to an expert, outlining the facts, issues, and questions needed for their opinion on a case. To ensure clarity and avoid issues, solicitors should consult with the expert before finalizing the LOI, include only relevant documents, adhere to the Expert Witness Code of Conduct, and specify timelines and fees.
