 "Ergonomics is the application of scientific information concerning humans to the design of objects, system and environment for human use."
Ergonomics is a part of our everyday lives and at ISE, our main focus is on ergonomics and the workplace. Office ergonomics is about combining the capabilities of the human body to fit the workstations people inhabit. Ergonomics is essential in all workplaces, as it helps to adjust the human body to the work area.
"In a phrase, the job must 'fit the person' in all respects, and the work situation should not comprimise human capabilities and limitations."
-the Ergonomics Society; Blakemore, Langford, Jennet, Whitfield
