Ergonomics

Ergonomics is a combination of two Greek words: ergo which means work, and nomics which means the study of. So, in simple terms, ergonomics is the study of work. In practice, ergonomics is the science of adjusting the job or task to the worker instead of the other way around, considering the worker as a major component in the design of jobs, work stations, equipment and machinery.
