AB  - Ergonomics  is  the  study  of  humans  at  work  in  order  to  understand  the  complex  relationships  among  people,  machines,  job  demands,  and  work  methods  in  order  to  minimize  gaps  between  task  demands  and  human  capacities  in  activities  of  work  and  daily  living.1  All  human  activities,  regardless  of  their  nature,  place  both  physical  and  mental  demands  on  the  worker.  As  long  as  these  demands  are  kept  within  reasonable  limits,  performance  will  be  satisfactory  and  health  will  be  maintained.  However,  if  stresses  are  excessive,  undesirable  outcomes  may  occur  in  the  form  of  errors,  accidents,  injuries,  and/or  a  decrement  in  health.
