  • Abstract:
  • Ergonomics is based on the principle of building better workplaces. It is a stream of science which primarily deals with creating the jobs and the workplaces which match to the capabilities of people resulting in better working experience. The approach of Ergonomic principles helps in tackling various musculoskeletal issues of the employees working in various places. Ergonomics focus on creating the workplaces where the chances of various health issues such as the physical or cognitive issues can be minimized as the employees have to spend very longer periods of time in their workplaces subjecting them to face physical, cognitive,mental or morphological issues.Therefore Ergonomic principles can be used to design the workplaces which can aim at the convenient and people -friendly spaces which in turn can lead to the improved functioning of the workforce. Optimal Ergonomics and posture are essential components of physical well-being and workplace productivity. Proper posture reduces musculoskeletal strain, minimizes the risk of chronic pain, and enhances respiratory and circulatory efficiency. Ergonomics, when applied effectively in environments such as offices or industrial settings, helps in aligning workspace with human capabilities, thereby preventing injury and improving performance.Exercise plays a critical role in supporting ergonomic health. Strengthening the core, improving flexibility, and maintaining joint mobility contribute to better posture and reduced fatigue. Regular physical activity counteracts the detrimental effects of prolonged sitting or repetitive tasks.The effects of poor ergonomics and posture can be far-reaching, including back and neck pain, repetitive strain injuries, decreased concentration, and long-term disability. Conversely, good ergonomics and posture contribute to improved energy levels, better focus, and overall health.
