A Comprehensive Review of Ergonomics Principles and Applications on Optimizing Workplace Performance and Well-being
Abstract
This paper delves into the interdisciplinary field of ergonomics, which aims to optimize workforce performance and well-being by aligning workplace elements with workers' capabilities. It explores the historical significance of ergonomics in mitigating musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and enhancing workplace productivity. Key concepts such as ergonomic modeling, musculoskeletal system biomechanics, and the ergonomic assessment of carrying, holding, and lifting tasks are discussed. Additionally, the paper examines the physiological aspects of work, including heart rate and energy expenditure measurements, and presents ergonomic assessment techniques such as the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ), posture analysis, and rapid assessment tools like the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) and the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA). Furthermore, it outlines the fundamental concepts of Health, Safety, Environment, and Ergonomics (HSEE), emphasizing the importance of integrated approaches to enhance workplace safety and efficiency. This abstract provides a comprehensive overview of ergonomic principles, methodologies, and their applications in promoting occupational health and well-being.
