    Historically, Ergonomics was another name for Human Factors.

    Today, Ergonomics commonly


    refers to designing work environments for maximizing safety and efficiency. Biometrics and
    Anthropometrics play a key role in this use of the word Ergonomics. Engineering Psychology
    often has a specialty dealing with Workplace or Occupational Ergonomics.

    Companies once thought that there was a bottom-line tradeoff between safety and efficiency.
    Now they embrace ergonomics because they have learned that designing a safe work
    environment can also result in greater efficiency and productivity. Recently, U.S. laws requiring
    a safe work environment have stimulated great interest in Ergonomics - from ergonomic
    furniture to ergonomic training. But it is in the design of the workplace as a whole where the
    greatest impact can be seen for both safety and efficiency.

    The easier it is to do a job, the more likely it is to see gains in productivity due to greater
    efficiency. Analogously, the safer it is to do a job, the more likely it is to see gains in productivity
    due to reduced time off for injury. Ergonomics can address both of these issues concurrently by
    maximizing the workspace and equipment needed to do a job.
