Ergonomics (physical) consists of adapting working conditions to the human being and not the opposite, in particular:
- the work environment (light, atmosphere or climate and noise) to the physiological needs;
- the efforts due to the work to the specific capacities of the worker;
- the machines and equipments to the physical characteristics of the person handling them;
