Ergonomics is important because when you’re doing a job and your body is stressed by an awkward posture, extreme temperature, or repeated movement your musculoskeletal system is affected. Your body may begin to have symptoms such as fatigue, discomfort, and pain, which can be the first signs of a musculoskeletal disorder.
•Ergonomics can contribute to human well-being in terms of safety, health, and comfort.
•Daily occurrences such as accidents at work, in traffic and at home, as well as disasters involving cranes, airplanes and nuclear power stations can often be attributed to human error.
•From the analysis of these failures it appears that the cause is often a poor and inadequate relationship between operators and their task.
