Ergonomics in an Industrial Setting Andrew Drewczynski Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety

What is Ergonomics? Ergonomics is the discipline that matches the job to the worker and product to the user.

Ergonomics vs Human Factors In the occupational field, Ergonomics and Human Factors are terms used interchangeably. Both describe the interaction between the operator and the job demands, and aim to minimize hazards in the workplace. However, Ergonomics focuses on how work affects workers, while Human Factors emphasizes designs that reduce the potential for human error.

Why Ergonomics? Legislation BC, Saskatchewan US OSHA (2000) Australia (89), European Community (93), California (97), Sweden (98) Ontario ? – General duty clause  25. 2(h) take every precaution reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of a worker; Canada (Feds) ????
