WHAT IS ERGONOMICS? Ergonomics is total information that can be used to

machines, equipments with maximum comfort, high security and equanimityequanimity by people.

DUTY OF ERGONOMIST

Ergonomists are concerned with the complex physical relationships between people, machines, job demands and work methods.

DESCRIPTION OF ERGONOMICS

Ergonomics is a well disciplined field that considers the employees’ biological and psychological properties and presents the technological and natural laws of human-machine-environment harmony.

44

HISTORICAL• Ergonomic experiences have been investigated since

the existence of human being but F.W. Taylor has studied Ergonomics as a disquisition.

• Frank and Lilian Gilbert carried out studies on

“motion”.

• The first book of ergonomics titled as "psychology in industrial activities” was issued by Munsterberg.

• The term “Ergonomics” firstly was suggested and

accepted at Oxford university in 1949 by Murrell with a lot of scientists.

PURPOSE OF ERGONOMICS

First purpose of ergonomics is to increase productivity, job security of

human and machine's combination. One of the basic purposes is to optimize

the connection between persons and their surroundings.

66

AIMS OF ERGONOMICS

Provide job security and employees’ welfare Prevent from missing of labour force Reduction in frazzle and work stress

Minimization of industrial accidents and occupational risks

Increased productivity and quality Ergonomics is employed to fulfill the two

goals of health and productivity

RESULTS OF ERGONOMICS PRACTICES

To understand of done work effects on employees' bodies and their performance's

To estimate effects of long term potential or cumulative on employees

To determine workplace or/and equipments for employee convenience to do any job

Selecting the optimal one way of "adapt staff to duty" or " adapt duty to staff"

To supply improvement of productivity and welfare of employees

ADVANTAGES IN WORKPLACE Get better quality level To decide more healthful and solutions will be more correct Employee creativity will improve with interaction cost will

be decreasing, production will be increasing. Human relations will be getting better and people will

tolerate listening and criticising each other Hierarchical situation will be flexible Job accidents, discontinuous to work and labor force term

will decrease Directorate qualifications and skills of staff will develop Staff will realize their values and importances

ERGONOMICS IN TURKEY

Ergonomics is a quite new topic in Turkey. Firstly ergonomics has begun as “Sources Of

Alive Force In Agriculture” in the faculty of agriculture at Ankara universty.

2020

DO YOU KNOW THIS? In 1980’s, industrial engineering department

of Dokuz Eylül University has brought a lot of modern laboratory devices from abroad and has added "ergonomics“ class to its curriculum.

The department also arranged the first and second Turkish-German ergonomics symposiums and the proceedings of these symposiums were printed as a book which is an important source for ergonomics researchers.
