Ergonomic Assessments

Ergonomics is the multidisciplinary scientific study of the relationship between man and the work environment. The aim of ergonomics is to create an effective workplace and to help prevent work-related health problems through proper workstation and job design. The workplace contains the tools, equipment and workstations required to perform a job. Problems arise when workers have to adapt to poor workplace and job design. The science of ergonomics involves designing the tasks to accommodate the worker rather than having the worker make adjustments to complete the task.
