Title
Introduction to Human Factors Engineering and different types of equipment
used in Ergonomic Lab

Introduction
Human factors engineering, or human engineering, is concerned with ways of designing
machines, operations, and work environments so that they match human capacities and
limitations.
It’s also called Anthropometry

The interface is accomplished by :

 Make the Man fit the job
 Selection
 Training
 Motivation
 Make Job fit the Man/ Women
 Adjustability
 Load Regulation
