Ergonomics can roughly be defined as the study of people in their working environment. More specifically, an ergonomist (pronounced like economist) designs or modifies the work to fit the worker, not the other way around. The goal is to eliminate discomfort and risk of injury due to work. In other words, the employee is our first priority in analyzing a workstation. “Ergonomics (or human factors) is the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of the interactions among human and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.” Providing information about ergonomics. Providing consultation regarding workstation setup. Giving on-campus training on ergonomics (as requested). Providing product evaluations. Providing an online self-assessment tool. This tool will walk the individual through a self-evaluation and provide the user with recommendations to modify their workstation. EHS wants to provide information and education to allow any employee to avoid injury. EHS wants to educate people on the basics of ergonomics. Not only will they be able to help themselves at work, but these principles can be applied to home, hobbies or help friends and co-workers who may have similar issues. Remember, knowledge is contagious. The Department of Environment, Health and Safety’s (EHS) purpose is to help all UNC employees create and maintain a healthy and safe working environment. Ergonomics is the process of designing or arranging workplaces, products and systems so that they fit the people who use them. Most people have heard of ergonomics and think it is something to do with seating or with the design of car controls and instruments – but it is so much more. Ergonomics applies to the design of anything that involves people – workspaces, sports and leisure, health and safety. Ergonomics (or ‘human factors’ as it is referred to in North America) is a branch of science that aims to learn about human abilities and limitations, and then apply this learning to improve people’s interaction with products, systems and environments. Ergonomics aims to improve workspaces and environments to minimise risk of injury or harm. So as technologies change, so too does the need to ensure that the tools we access for work, rest and play are designed for our body’s requirements.
