Ergonomics is actually derived from the Greek words “Ergon” (work) and “Nomos” (laws) to denote the science of work. Ergonomics is a science of discipline which now extends across all aspects of human activity. It is the study of human capabilities in relationship to work demands.
Many people suffer because their conditions at work and home are incompatible with their needs, abilities and limitations. This situation affects their safety and well being.
Ergonomics promotes a holistic approach in which considerations of physical, cognitive, social, organizational, environmental and other relevant factors are taken into account. For example working posture, repetitive movements, work related musculoskeletal disorders, work place layout, human – computer interaction, work stress, work design, lighting, telework etc.
High technology can make our lives more efficient and exciting. However, fascination with technology and overly ambitious business expectations can cause us to overlook human factors risks. Neglecting these risks can have serious effects on an individual.
But, for an individual to make sure that he is properly following all the guidelines towards a systemic approach for one’s own life and work pattern, he would have to be a skilled observer of his or her own joint and muscle functioning and would have to be able to change his or her posture accordingly. But, in order to develop this sort of highly refined sensory awareness, one requires special training. Therefore the key here is that we must learn how to observe our bodies in a new way.*
Our special workshops have helped people develop the subtle coordination of thought and physical action required to monitor and alter harmful patterns of posture and movement. It enables an individual to put Ergonomic principles into practice, and thus helps them reduce their risk of developing a repetitive strain injury and other stress-related injuries.
This simple and practical workshop alerts people to understand ways in which they are misusing their bodies, and how their everyday habits of work may be harming them. It teaches people how to avoid work habits which create excessive stress and how to reduce the amount of unnecessary muscular force they are applying to their bodies by providing them with an alternative. So, whether you Head a particular organization or you are a computer desk professionals or you might be someone whose work involves a lot of heavy lifting shifting etc. this workshop is going to be a boon for you. Therefore, Ergonomics remains an important part of an individual’s life if he is looking out for productivity and longevity.
