ABSTRACT

Ergonomics as a discipline focusing on the design and redesign of the “active human” systems is concerned with the living quality of human kind. It aims to bring equilibrium between human activities and environmental conditions that would increase human potential. A well-balanced “human-atwork” system (work in the widest sense of its content) should create conditions of acceptable risks with respect to occupational health and safety, and assure the human well-being, in combination with satisfactory efficiency of the human activity.
