ABSTRACT
Ergonomics, or the “laws of work,” by denition and tradition, has focused primarily on the physical aspects of work, such as force and energy requirements. at these are inexorably intertwined with the specic design of workstations hardly need be mentioned. e spatial and temporal arrangements of the tasks being done in a workstation dene the parameters necessary for biomechanical analysis and design of work-rest cycles, among other things. In some sense, this part of workstation design and evaluation can be thought of as “applied anthropometry.”
