General description Ergonomics is the set of multidisciplinary knowledge applied to the adaptation of artificial products, systems and environments to the needs, limitations and characteristics of their users, optimizing effectiveness, safety and well-being. In the workplace, it is responsible for the design of workplaces, tools and tasks, so that they match the physiological, anatomical, psychological conditions and the capabilities of the workers who will be involved. Occupational physiotherapy addresses health care in occupational pathology and preventive aspects.
