Abstract: Ergonomics is the science of designing the workplace, keeping in minds the capabilities and limitations of the worker. A systematic ergonomics improvement process removes risk factors that lead to WMSD’s (work related musculoskeletal disorders) and allows for improved human performance and productivity. While designing ergonomic hazards out of the workplace is ideal, other measures such as administrative controls (including training or employee rotation) and changes to work practices are necessary. A healthful environment brings safety to the employees with physical and mental capabilities in performing their jobs. Absence of these facilities usually leads to the employee distress, absenteeism, job stress, accidents and fatigue.
Keywords: Ergonomics, WMSD’s (work related musculoskeletal disorders), job stress, accidents, distress, absenteeism and fatigue, employee rotation.
