Ergonomics

Ergonomics is the scientific discipline focused on understanding the interactions between humans and other elements of a system. It involves designing and arranging workspaces, tools, equipment, and tasks to optimize human well-being, performance, safety, and comfort. The goal of ergonomics is to create environments that accommodate the physical and cognitive capabilities of individuals, thereby improving efficiency and reducing the risk of injury or strain. This field draws on knowledge from various areas, including anatomy, physiology, psychology, and engineering, to ensure that products and work processes align with human needs and limitations. Through ergonomic principles, organizations seek to enhance productivity and ensure the health and safety of their workers.
