Ergonomics is a multidisciplinary science that works synergistically as a body of interrelated knowledge in its application to adapt the environment of life and work to man for his greater well-being and better quality of life. The objectives of ergonomics are to improve worker safety and physical environment, achieve harmony between the worker, environment and working conditions, reduce the physical and nervous load on humans, seek comfort and productivity efficiency, and reduce or technically modify repetitive work. Ergonomics aims to design the workstation, workplace, and identify risk factors like personal characteristics and ergonomic risks that could lead to injuries.
