WHY ERGONOMICS ?

Why Ergonomics / Human Factors is important for the Industry? Human factors is a very important element in a working environment to sustain productivity of an industry. To invest in a working environment that fits to the human will help employers in reducing their future financial and legislative risks. An un-ergonomically designed working environment not only reduces the worker's abilities to do work (reduced productivity), it also promotes the onset of chronic or acute musculoskeletal damage to the workers.

BEFORE

Poor Ergonomics:-

• Awkward posture & forceful exertions

• Strenuous effort that damages the body

• Reduces ability to sustain work demand

• Increases future financial and legislative risks

AFTER (with ergonomics input)

Good Ergonomics:-

• Lighter and easier effort.

• Minimize body damage

• Able to sustain work demand

• Reduces financial and legislative risks

ErgoWorks Sdn Bhd (EWSB) has foreseen the future needs of Ergonomics for the industry and to fulfill that needs we are offering our professional services in the field of Ergonomics / Human Factors such as training, advisory, consultancy, human factors engineering, assessment, product evaluation, task design and simulation ,and ergo products.
