\nThe goal of ergonomics (i.e. the scientific study of people at work) is to prevent soft tissue injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused by sudden or sustained exposure to force, vibration, repetitive motion, and awkward posture. To create an ergonomically sound work environment, NIOSH ergonomists and industrial hygienists recommend designing tasks, work spaces, controls, displays, tools, lighting, and equipment to fit employee\u2019s physical capabilities and limitations. On this page you will find the Musculoskeletal Health Program\u2019s ergonomic recommendations and musculoskeletal health-related research.
