Office Ergnonomics
Ergonomics is the science of designing the workplace, machines, and work tasks within the capacity and capability of the human body, that is, a proactive approach that strives to fit the work to the worker, not the worker to the job. By understanding basic ergonomics and its interaction with your job, you can work more efficiently and comfortably, help prevent injuries, and promote your long-term health.
