Ergonomics

• ApresentaçãoPresentation

  Ergonomics is a scientific field whose multidisciplinary nature aligns with an integrative vision and approache to human work and everything related to it. The knowledge and methodology in Ergonomics are based on the biological and social sciences, drawing on various contributions from engineering fields, depending on the scope of training and context of application. The emphasis on knowledge related to human functioning and performance, whether from an individual or collective perspective, constitutes the foundation for a "human-centered" approach to the workplace. From this perspective, ergonomics provides a methodology and methods for promoting "quality of life in the workplace."
