ABSTRACT
Ergonomics practice in most industrially developing countries (IDCs) is in its infancy. Almost two-thirds of the world’s population has little or no access to the vast knowledge base that makes ergonomics such an important tool for the work environment and productivity improvement. While ergonomics has shown great potential in the “Industrialized World” by ensuring optimum technology utilization and proper technological development, interest and attention paid to the subject is very low among organizations and industrial managers in the IDCs (Shahnavaz, 1995).
