Answer 1

Answer:

To minimise physical strain on the worker by structuring the physical work environment around the way the human body works.

Explanation:

Ergonomics is very essential because when carrying out a job and your body is made uncomfortable by an bad posture, extreme temperature, or repeated movement your musculoskeletal system tends to be affected.

Ergonomics improves productivity in a workplace. Designing a workspace that promotes good posture, less repetitive motions, easier heights and reaches is very necessary. More efficiency means more productivity which is important for the growth of the company.
