Etymology:
The word "Ergonomics" comes from two Greek words "ergon," meaning work, and "nomos" meaning "laws." Ergonomics covers all aspects of a job, from the physical stresses it places on joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, bones, etc, to environmental factors which can effect hearing, vision, and general comfort and health. |
