Ergonomics deals with the adaptation of working conditions to the abilities and characteristics of the worker and the possibilities of man's adaptation to the tasks he is called upon to carry out.
Ergonomics does not only concern the adaptation of work equipment to the anthropometric and anatomical characteristics of the individual, but also deals with the "human scale" organization of work, its content and the environment in which it takes place .
Greater well-being = greater productivity
An ergonomically correct workplace and work processes are essential prerequisites for ensuring the well-being of workers. If the organization of work responds to the capabilities and needs of the individual, the physical overload decreases and the worker does not get tired in a short time.
Furthermore, his motivation increases.
All these factors positively influence quality, performance and productivity. Ergonomics does not only aim to avoid physical damage and overloading of workers. An ergonomically designed work environment helps reduce the risk of injury. Only by taking ergonomic rules into account is it possible to find a global solution to problems related to safety at work
