Ergonomics is a discipline that involves arranging the environment to fit the person in it. When ergonomics is applied correctly in the work environment, musculoskeletal discomfort and fatigue are reduced significantly. Ergonomics intercession must be viewed in light of its effect on productivity as the ergonomics solutions will improve productivity. Reducing environmental stressors, awkward postures and exertions, result in trimming down the task completion time, thus improving productivity. Call for Papers: Research papers are invited from researchers from diverse fields viz. Engineering, Health Sciences, Management, Agriculture, Industry, IT and service sector, etc. based on recent research work carried out in Ergonomics and its benefits.
Conference features the following themes for improved productivity: Ergonomics in Systems Design; Human Factors in Engineering Design; Environmental Ergonomics; Human Factors in Tool design; Health Ergonomics & Occupational Safety; Human Physiology and work measurement; Human Error/Accidents; Ergonomic Methods; Productivity with Ergonomics in Industries; Transportation Ergonomics; Human Factors in Construction Industries.
