    ergonomics is about fit the fit between people, the things they do, the objects they use and the environments they work, travel and play in.

    Extractions: Ergo-what? Ergo· nom ics Ergonomics is about 'fit': the fit between people, the things they do, the objects they use and the environments they work, travel and play in. If good fit is achieved, the stresses on people are reduced. They are more comfortable, they can do things more quickly and easily, and they make fewer mistakes. So when we talk about 'fit', we don't just mean physical fit, we are concerned with psychological and other aspects too. That is why ergonomics is often called 'Human Factors'. S omeone who is qualified in ergonomics is called an ergon·o mist Ergonomics and human factors - the same thing? You could argue that they are, with the essential difference being that ergonomics has always been the more common term within the UK, and Human Factors is favoured by the North Americans. The two terms then would be interchangeable. However, others would disagree and suggest that human factors is a more general term. A few years ago the terms were combined in the name of the American Society - now known as the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. Incidentally, the Oxford English Dictionary supports the equivalence of the terms.

Re: Ergonomics Is a Crock Last post 08-05-2007, 10:55 PM by Marji . 10 replies. Page 1 of 2 (11 items) Next > Sort Posts: Oldest to newest Newest to oldest Previous Next Reply Quote That's it. I give up. I'm saying "Uncle." Ergonomic keyboards aren't for me, and I have to wonder how many of you feel the same way. Read "Ergonomics Is a Crock"... Reply Quote Ergonomics done right should be of great benefit to the economy by reducing the risk of injury. In Victorian times and in many developing economies today, workers are disposable comodities - if one breaks, throw him/her away and get a new one - nobody counts the cost. In the developed world, most nations have a social safety net paid for by insurance premiums or tax dollars so the cost can't be ignored - we will be most competitive by keeping our experienced workers healthy and productive. Ergonomics means the engineers have to spend a bit more time sweating the details but it's unlikely there will be any additional cost at the manufacturing or distribution level. If you don't like Microsoft's "Natural" layout - and I think that includes most of us who learned to type on-the-job rather than at school - there are ergonomically designed keyboards with a conventional layout. Maybe you should give one of them a try.

    Extractions: Ergonomics is becoming a commonplace word, especially in the office environment. By itself, the word ergonomics refers to the study of designing objects, such as chairs, keyboards, and workstations, to be well adapted to the form of the human body. Ergonomics can be applicable in many jobs, but it is growing more and more important in the office environment. Good home and office ergonomics is very important because we are turning into a society that spends more and more hours working and playing at the computer. Sitting at poorly designed workstations can contribute to problems such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and repetitive stress injuries (RSI). Bad ergonomics can also cause back and neck pain, frequent headaches, and other related health issues. When people shop for chairs and desks for the home, they are often swayed by what looks good or what is on special, rather than what is good for their bodies. We should all pay more attention to ergonomics when buying anything we're going to be using on a daily basis. People spend thousands of dollars on cool new computers, then buy a $50 chair from Office Depot. Then they wonder why they are uncomfortable!
