The ergonomics is the study of the relationship between humankind and its work environment. It is a multidisciplinary science, which draws on knowledge derived from the humanities, such as anatomy, physiology and psychology, as well as the engineering sciences, such as engineering, with the aim of ensuring that the work is tailored to the individual’s characteristics and that, in turn, this organisation can carry out its activities in the better conditions possible. Through this training initiative in Ergonomics: Analysis of Physical Factors Students will be able to analyse the physical conditions which affect the workstation in the course of their work.
