Ergonomics
The word, ergonomics, comes from two Greek words: “ergon” meaning work, and “nomos” meaning laws.
Ergonomics covers all aspects of a job, from physical stresses it places on joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, bones, to environmental factors, which can affect hearing, vision, and general comfort and health.
