What is ergonomics?

Ergonomics is the art and science of designing work with workers in mind. The primary goal of most ergonomics programs is to lower the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) by reducing hazards. Additional benefits include improved comfort, morale, productivity, quality, and efficiency.
