Ergonomics and Body Mechanics

Ergonomics is the study of designing workspaces and tools to fit the human body and its movements. Its goal is to improve comfort, efficiency, and safety, reducing the risk of injury. Body mechanics refers to the way we move and use our bodies, especially during physical activities like lifting or sitting. By understanding ergonomics and good body mechanics, we can create environments and practices that promote better posture, minimize strain, and enhance overall well-being at work or daily life. This approach helps prevent musculoskeletal disorders and supports productivity and health.
