ABSTRACT
According to Louhevaara et al. (1997), ergonomics is defined as a multidisciplinary field of science based on physiology, psychology, sociology, and the application of technical sciences. It considers human capacities, needs, and limitations in the interaction of technical and organizational work systems. The integrated knowledge of ergonomics is used to develop work contents and environments through the use of job design and redesign measures for promoting health, work ability, safety and professional competence as well as the productivity and quality of work.
