1. What is Ergonomics?

Ergonomics is all about designing things to suit their users.
The design could be on a physical level or it could be on a psychological level.
Ergonomics plays a particularly important role in making sure that safety critical industries like nuclear power stations can be controlled by their users, and in everyday life by making sure that workstations, checkouts, factory machinery can be used comfortably on a day to day basis.

Ergonomics is concerned with the 'fit' between people and their work. It takes account of the worker's capabilities and limitations in seeking to ensure that tasks, equipment, information and the environment suit each worker.


2. What are the 5 aspects of Ergonomics?

Safety

comfort

ease of use

productivity/performance

aesthetics


3. For each aspects of Ergonomics, explain with an example of a product that is designed for the elderly, how the product meet that particular aspect of Ergonomics.

Safety :

Side railings are available on walkways for the elderly to support themselves while walking.

Comfort:

Chairs with a cushion on the back rest. It allows the user to be able to relax and feel comfortable while seated in the chair.

Ease of Use :

Watches that display the time big and clearly for the elderly to see if they have poor vision.

productivity/performance :

Curved edges of an object eg a table so that the elderly does not knock against it unintentionally and suffer injuries.

Aesthetics:

Wheelchairs that suit the elderly well.
