why ???
Ergonomics is “the science of fitting workplace conditions
and job demands to the capabilities of the working
population,” according to NIOSH. Fitting the task to the worker,
rather than forcing the worker to fit the task can be a tough
habit to break. Ergonomics also includes avoiding tasks that
may lead to injuries. OSHA defines ergonomics as “the
science of designing the job to fit the worker, rather than
physically forcing the worker’s body to fit the job. Adapting
tasks, work stations, tools and equipment to fit the worker
can help reduce physical stress on a worker’s body and
eliminate many potentially serious, disabling work-related
musculoskeletal disorders.”
