HISTORY OF ERGONOMICS
Ergonomics defined as "the science of adapting the job or the
equipment and the human to each other for optimal safety and
productivity." In other words, ergonomics aims to prevent injury to
employees by minimizing physical stressors in the workplace. For
example it help in avoid illness and injury risk, contact stress,
repetitive motion, increased satisfaction among the workforce.
Although the scope of ergonomics wide the term of ergonomics are
refers to those work-related factors that may pose a risk of
musculoskeletal disorders and recommendations to reduce them.
Common examples of ergonomic risk factors are found in jobs like
requiring repetitive, forceful, or long exertions of the hands. It
means frequent or heavy in lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying of
heavy objects and awkward in handling machine. Vibration and
nervous may add risk to these work conditions. Jobs or working
conditions present multiple risk factors will have a higher probability
of causing a musculoskeletal problem. The level of risk depends on
the intensity, frequency, and duration of the exposure to these
conditions and the individuals' capacity to meet the force of other
job demands that might be involved.
