What is Ergonomics
What is ergonomics and what does ergonomic mean are essential questions when understanding how workplace design impacts health, safety, and performance. An ergonomic workspace focuses on creating conditions that allow individuals to work efficiently and comfortably, minimizing the risk of injury or fatigue. Ergonomics provides guiding principles for designing tools, machinery, workflows, and work environments to ensure they are safe and suitable for human use.
The production of machinery and the working capabilities of employees both play a vital role in maintaining a stress-free environment. Operating a well-designed machine effectively depends on the worker’s ability; however, if the equipment is poorly designed, it may lead to discomfort, inefficiency, and even workplace stress.
