ABSTRACT
It is true that ergonomics and design are disciplines that almost always go hand in hand and generally lean toward the needs of human beings. According to Chapanis (1994), ergonomics is a body of knowledge about the abilities, limitations, and other human characteristics that are relevant to design. Karwowski (2005) states that ergonomics is a discipline that focuses on the nature of human-artifact interactions viewed from the unified perspective of the science, engineering, design, technology, and management of human-compatible systems, including a variety of products and processes, in natural and artificial environments. In this way, "ergonomic design" is the application of ergonomics in the design of tools, machines. Systems, tasks, organization, and physical environments for the safety and comfort for effective human use.
