['Ergonomics']

Ergonomics is an applied science that involves arranging the work environment to fit the employee, rather than forcing the employee to fit the job. Designing the job to fit the employee can reduce stress and hazards, and eliminate many potential injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) associated with the overuse of muscles, bad posture, and repetitive motions. Also referred to as biotechnology or human engineering, it is intended to maximize productivity by reducing worker fatigue and discomfort.
