What is Ergonomics?

Broadly speaking, Ergonomics is the study of work.  It is an applied science concerned with human beings and how we interact with our work environments.  Ergonomics has implications for employee safety and efficiency.  It includes such things as human machine interactions and how well items like hand tools and furniture “fit” the people using them so that the things people use will be well suited to their purpose.
  

Ergonomics can and should be considered for every job and every area of work. Ideally, the interventions of ergonomics are transparent to the worker; that is, the best designs just work well without the worker being aware of them.  In some cases, work areas require modification in order to best fit the job and environment to the people doing the work.
