The term ergonomics comes from Greek words Ergon – to work and Nomo’s – law. Ergonomics can be defined as study of worker’s interactions with work equipment, work method and work environment. Ergonomics should be seen as a ‘win-win’ opportunity to improve productivity and quality while increasing employee safety and morale. Ergonomics takes in to consideration of Behaviour (such as non-work activities, breaks, stretch, position, postures, etc), Environment (such as process/task, furniture, tools, equipment, engineering, etc) and Person (such as knowledge, weight, physical abilities, medical conditions, fitness etc)
Correctly selected and practiced ergonomic behaviours result in avoiding unnecessary fatigue, maintaining freshness and health for people. Employers benefit in terms of increased productivity and high credibility.
