Description:
Ergonomics deals with the compatibility between workers and their work. "Work" is made up of the work environment, workstations and tasks. Poor ergonomic conditions exist when the "work" is incompatible with the workers' bodies and their ability to continue working. Such conditions may cause discomfort, fatigue and pain and, subsequently, injury.
