• Ergonomics is derived from two Greek words: ergon, meaning work; and nomoi, meaning natural laws.
• Thus ergonomics means the science of work and a person’s relationship to that work.
• Ergonomics is the science of making things comfy. It also makes things efficient.
• Ergonomists study work, how work is done and how to work better.
• Ergonomics is commonly thought of in terms of products. But it can be equally useful in the design of services or processes.
