Ergonomics

What is Ergonomics?

Ergonomics is the science of designing the job to fit the worker, rather than to force a person to fit the job. Redesigning various job tasks to match a person's stature will reduce stress on the body and eliminate potential injuries associated with the overuse of muscles, unnatural postures, and repetitive motions.

Why is Ergonomics a Concern?

Workers who perform repetitive procedures or work in positions that put a great load of stress on the musculoskeletal system can experience ergonomic stress
