    This document discusses ergonomics and its importance in workplace design. Ergonomics aims to improve workspaces and environments to minimize injury and maximize productivity. It studies how humans perform tasks and use their bodies, in order to design workspaces that are safe, comfortable and allow workers to be productive. The goal of ergonomic design is to prevent fatigue, discomfort and injuries by improving how users interact with workspaces and tools. Benefits include increased safety, comfort and productivity as well as reduced costs from injuries.

    A Brief Understanding of Ergonomics


    Ergonomics is the study of how work affects the human body. It’s a discipline that, by its very nature,
    aims to improve workspaces, products, and environments to minimize the risk of injury or harm.
    Ergonomics aims to create safe, comfortable, and productive workspaces that suit all people’s needs.
    The aim of ergonomic design is not only to make your workplace better but also to make it safer. If
    you work in an office where you’re constantly interrupted by emails and phone calls, it’s
    counterproductive for you to be sitting for long periods of time on the floor in front of your computer.
    So, ergonomics can help you figure out what could be better about your workspace so that you can
    make adjustments without compromising productivity or safety.

    It’s important to note that ergonomics is not just about preventing injuries (although it does do this); it
    also aims to improve productivity and satisfaction through improved workspace design. Ergonomics
    is the study of how humans use their bodies and senses to perform activities. It's also a very important
    topic in the field of occupational safety and health, as well as workplace safety in general.

    Ergonomics aims to improve workspaces and environments to minimize the risk of injury or harm.
    Ergonomics aims to create safe, comfortable, and productive workspaces so that workers can be
    productive, healthy, and safe while they're working. The term ergonomics was coined in the 1950s by
    Dr. Ruth Kedu. She was a Harvard University professor who researched the effects of physical design
    on human performance at work. The aim of ergonomic design is to reduce or eliminate the risk of
    injury by improving the usability of a product or system through the use of appropriate materials,
    components, and techniques for users' position and movement within it - for example, using
    adjustable height desks instead of fixed ones; providing adjustable chairs instead of fixed ones; using
    low lighting levels; etcetera.

    Understanding Ergonomics At Work


    Ergonomics is the study of planning work errands to fit the specialist, remembering the capacities and
    restrictions of the human body. A compelling ergonomic improvement process looks to differentiate
    and remove any impediment to the greatest work limit and cut off specialist weakness and distress
    while further developing cycle effectiveness and efficiency.

     Occupations and errands that are frustrating, inefficient, or uncomfortable are regularly not
    ergonomically right.
     Ergonomic issues bring about efficiency, productivity, quality, and safety issues.
    The GOAL of ergonomics is to prevent worker fatigue and discomfort that can lead to potential
    MSDs and to make the company more competitive and successful in reaching its goals.

    Good Ergonomics = Good Economics


    Some benefits:
     Increased worker safety.
     Improved worker comfort.
     Reduce Fatigue.
     Reduction in corporations’ indirect losses.
     Lower injury rates.
     Improved overall health of the worker.
     Happy Environment at workplace.
