Ergonomy

A workplace and working conditions must be arranged and designed to prevent risks of harmful or unnecessarily tiring physical strain. The workplace must provide conditions for good working positions and working heights. The organization of work, work techniques and light, sound and air conditions are also included in the concept of ergonomics.
