Abstract
Defines ergonomics and discusses various issues such as anthropometry, seat design, workplace principles, manual materials handling, and cumulative trauma disorders. These important issues need to be appreciated if the objective of the facilities manager is to reduce work‐related injuries, improve productivity, and improve the quality of life of the workers.
