ERGONOMICS by: NaTasha Lavon Debra

 Ergonomics is analyzing the relationship between workplace environments and the physical capabilities of the worker

 The impact of age, stature, gender, working history, job demands, and the mature worker in the workforce.

 Providing comfortable workstations and seating creates healthy postures that minimize fatigue and maximize efficiency.

 Sustained poor postures and physical stressors lead to fatigue, discomfort, pain and lowered productivity.
