Ergonomics & Human Factors
Work systems designed around human capabilities to reduce strain, error and operational disruption
why it matters
Work design directly influences human and operational risk
Ergonomic and human factors risks often develop gradually or become normalized. A structured evaluation makes those risks visible before they lead to injury, error or operational loss.
- Repetition, force and awkward postures can contribute to cumulative musculoskeletal injuries
- Fatigue and high cognitive demand can reduce attention and decision quality
- Workarounds may signal that tools, procedures or interfaces do not fit the task
- Poor workstation design can affect comfort, consistency and employee engagement
- Changes in staffing, equipment or production can introduce new human performance risks
