Ergonomics

 
image
 

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.
