Introduction: Establishing order depends on different arrangements in many aspects of lif. The fulfillment of order should be along with good policy and developed strategic principles, at the micro level and with the correct, firm and prudence legislation in the institutions and governance. Forensic ergonomics is one of the fields that helps this aim. Today it has become more widely used due to the creation of legal problems in the field of accidents and injuries. Therefore, this study reviews articles about forensic ergonomics and the effect of ideology on it.
Materials & Methods: This is a review study. The English articles published in Pubmed, Scopus, and Google scholar were chosen using keywords such as “forensic ergonomics” and “forensic human factor” without time limit; at least 3 articles were eligible.
Results: In the review section, the results showed that there is an agreement in the definition of forensic ergonomics, but there are very few studies. The results also showed that the use of forensic ergonomics is increasing, and the prospect of this area is positive. In the analytical section, the results also indicated that the review and suggestions for the creation of laws in the field of accidents should be assigned to the judicial system, not the executive or legislative system.
Conclusion: In order to progress in the field of legal ergonomics and to prevent the impact of ideology and politics on legislation, there is a need for further introduction and training of experts in this field and paying attention to the rational and scientific principles.
