Ergonomics is the science of designing and arranging work environments, tools, and tasks to fit the natural movements of the human body. The goal is to reduce physical strain and discomfort while improving efficiency and well-being. Ergonomic assessments are evaluations conducted by trained professionals to ensure that workstations and practices support the health and comfort of employees. These assessments consider factors such as seating, posture, equipment placement, lighting, and repetitive movements to create a workplace that promotes physical health and efficiency.
