Ergonomics is a way of thinking about
- The design of tools and equipment
- The layout of workplaces and
- The overall organization of work
To often we design the workplaces based on
- Efficient movement of a product
- Best locations for machines
without little thought for the machines called people that also need best locations and efficient movement.
Unfortunately the human body can not adapt to everything. People have differences and limitations. The idea behind ergonomics is to understand and design for the anatomy and physiology of people. Doctors of Chiropractic at Scotia Chiropractic Ltd. are trained to understand how the human body best interacts with its environment and the effects that ergonomic design can have on the human frame.
Dr Carla How of Scotia Chiropractic Ltd. believes that making changes in the working environment and supporting your staff with their physical fitness will give you a better workforce with less absenteeism.
