Ergonomics Training
Ergonomics is the science of designing the job to fit the worker – not forcing the worker to fit the job. Ergonomics covers all aspects of a job, from the physical stresses it places on joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, bones and the like, to environmental factors which can affect hearing, vision, and general comfort and health. The goal is to eliminate discomfort and risk of injury due to work.
