Developing, implementing and managing an ergonomics process (EP) is a worthwhile endeavor resulting in a positive and rewarding experience for all those involved. When properly constructed it engages and influences employees and management alike in an area that requires our undivided attention, our own health, wellness and safety. A successful ergonomics process will change the way the organization and those within operate on a day to day basis.
Ergonomics is the study of how we work. It is a “human-centered” science integrating the tools and materials we handle, the tasks we perform and the environment we perform the work in. It is about the “goodness of fit”.
