The goal of ergonomics is to reduce stress and eliminate injuries and disorders associated with the overuse of muscles, bad posture, and repeated tasks. This is accomplished by working with management teams and employees in designing tasks, work spaces, controls, displays, tools, lighting, and equipment to better fit the employees’ physical capabilities and work areas.

1. Maximize Natural Postures
2. Reduce Static Muscle Loading
