Conclusion

"If you choose the best ergonomic designs from the outset,

ergonomics will work like a vaccination, PROTECTING

YOUR EMPLOYEES while they are at work. If you treat

ergonomics as a Band-Aid, you will spend time forever

fighting fires without ever achieving companywide success."Alan Hedge, Ph.D.

Thus:

Create safe and comfort workplace considering ofphysiological and psychological of employees

Prevention is better than cure
