Ergonomics is the process of designing or arranging workplaces, products and systems so that they fit the people who use them. To achieve best practice design, Ergonomists use the data and techniques of several disciplines: Anthropometry: body sizes, shapes; populations and variations Biomechanics: muscles, levers, forces, strength environmental Physics: noise, light, heat, cold, radiation, vibration Body systems: hearing, vision, sensations Applied psychology: skill, learning, errors, differences Social psychology: groups, communication, learning, behaviours.
