Human Factors Engineering:
"The field of human factors engineering uses
scientific knowledge about human behavior in
specifying the design and use of a humanmachine system. The aim is to improve
system efficiency by minimizing human error."


Ergonomics:

“It is a knowledge based on scientific studies
of ordinary people in work situations applied
to the design of processes and machines, to
the layout of work places, to methods of
work, and to the control of the physical
environment, in order to achieve greater
efficiency of both men and machines."


Ergonomics is a science concerned with the
‘fit’ between people and their work.








To assess the fit between a person and their
work, you have to consider a range of factors,
including: The job/task being done:
The demands on the worker (activities,
workload, work pacing, shiftwork and fatigue).
The equipment used (its design in terms of size,
shape, controls, displays, and how appropriate it
is for the task).
The information used (how it is presented,
accessed, and changed).
The physical environment (temperature,
humidity, lighting, noise, vibration).




The individual’s physical and psychological
characteristics:
Body size and shape.
Fitness and strength.
Posture.
The senses, especially vision, hearing and touch.
Mental abilities.
Personality.
Knowledge.
Training.
Experience.
The organisation and social environment:
 Teamwork and team structure.
 Supervision and leadership.
 Supportive management.
 Communications.
 Resources.
Applying ergonomics to the workplace can:
 reduce the potential for accidents
 reduce the potential for injury and ill health
 improve performance and productivity.
