Learning Objectives
After completing this unit of instruction, students will be able to demonstrate the following:
• Define the term ergonomics
• Explain ergonomics and discuss its application to aviation systems
• Describe the musculoskeletal injuries related to aviation
• Enumerate and explain several workplace design and control issues

Ergonomics versus Human Factors
• Ergonomics – How we interact with our work environment
– Matching the job to the worker and product to the user
– Focuses on how work affects workers
• Human Factors – How we interact with our environment
– Emphasizes designs that reduce the potential for human error

Ergonomics versus Human Factors
In aviation, a fine line exists between ergonomics and human factors; often they are used interchangeably

What is Ergonomics?
• Derived from the Greek
– Ergon Work/Effort
– Nomos Law
• The Law of Work

Ergonomics looks at:
• Work stations
• Tools
• Motions
• Physical conditions
• Physical limitations
• Environment(s)

Reasons for Ergonomics
• WC costs (Medical + wages)
• Medical/health insurance
• Productivity
– Non–value added material handling
– Product spills (slips & falls, environmental, material costs)

Reasons for Ergonomics
• Fines
• Litigation
• Regulations (OSHA, EPA, ADA...)
• Employee well–being

Injury Categories
• Traumatic (instantaneous)
– Safety programs usually address these injuries
• Cumulative (long term)—Musculoskeletal
– IH and/or ergo programs address these injuries
