Occupational Ergonomics

Occupational ergonomics is the science of matching or adapting workplace conditions to human factors. It aims to appropriately design work to complement the worker’s abilities and to deal with pertinent problems such as job-related musculoskeletal disorders like carpal tunnel syndrome.

For instance, a company which hired occupational ergonomics practitioners facilitated workshops on stretching exercises, strengthening and conditioning, and using ergonomic devices.
