WHAT IS ERGONOMICS?

Ergonomics is the science of designing work to fit the worker. It examines how people interact with their tools, tasks, and work environment. Ergonomists use this information to make work safer, more efficient, and more productive. 

Ergonomically designed products, including sit-stand desks, noise-cancelling headsets, anti-vibration drills, anti-fatigue mats, and vehicle interiors, can help prevent muscle, tendon, nerve, and repetitive stress injuries before they happen. 

While ergonomics is typically associated with computer use, its application spans all job sectors, including aviation, construction, manufacturing, sports, and transportation.
