Ergonomics is the study of human interaction
with the tools, technology (hardware/software), the work
process, and the environment in which people
function.
The goal is to fit the job to the person.
Ergonomics recognizes the capabilities,
differences, and limitations of individuals,
and adjusts the work tools, work process,
or work environment accordingly.
Employees can play an important role in ergonomics
by being aware of problem postures and poor work
habits that can contribute to the development of
work-related injuries. Check out the following guidelines
that will help you to get comfortable and work safely.
