What is
Ergonomics?
"Ergonomics, in its simplest context, is the study of work. The objectives of ergonomic intervention are to prevent injuries due to overexertion and cumulative trauma, to increase profitability through productivity gains and reduced compensation costs, and to improve workplace quality of life."
