Ergonomics involves examining how to align a job's requirements with the capabilities of workers and the work environment to establish the most efficient workspace while minimizing injury risks. Traditionally, the main aim of ergonomics has been to lower the incidence of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD). The discipline evaluates labor effectiveness, quality, quantity, and comfort to enhance these factors while reducing worker injuries, turnover, fatigue, or overexertion. In the past, the focus in the field primarily concentrated on the physical elements that heighten an individual's risk of developing WMSD. Recent research has revealed the connection between psychosocial factors and ergonomics.
