Ergonomics
Ergonomics is the science of designing work to fit the worker. Whether at a desk, on a production floor, or in the field, good ergonomic practices help reduce strain, improve comfort, and support employee well-being. By identifying ergonomic risk factors and making simple adjustments, organizations can help prevent soft tissue injuries, improve productivity, and create safer workplaces.
