What Is the Word Ergonomics and How We Can Benefit from?
In recent years, ergonomics is the buzzword in the American work place. The term "ergonomics" is derived from two Greek words: "ergon", meaning work and "nomoi", meaning natural laws. Ergonomists study human capabilities in relationship to work demands involved with any tools, equipment and environment. Ergonomists have attempted to define ergonomics posture that minimize unnecessary static work and reduce the forces acting on the body.
Good news is that back pain is preventable. All of us could significantly reduce our risk of injury if we could adhere to the following ergonomic principles:
If your work involved lifting load, don't bend over the back when lifting heavy loads. Keep the objects you are lifting close to the body.
All work activities should permit the worker to adopt several different, but equally healthy and safe postures so worker can switching posture positions.
Where muscular force has to be exerted, it should be done by the largest muscle groups available. Do not twist the waist when turning. Practice turing the whole body, not just your waist or your neck.
If work activities need to be performed with the joints, keept them at about mid-point of their range of movement. This rule applies to the head, trunk, and upper limbs.

The challenges
According to the safety concern for computer ergonomics, to get the most benefits of ergonomic research, we must learn how to observe our body and posture. This will require special training because a person would have to be a skilled observer of his or her own joint and muscle functioning. He or she would have to be able to change his or her posture to a healthier one at will.
It actually posts a challenge to put ergonomic recommendations into practice. Because no one can develop this sort of highly refined sensory awareness without special training. Without proper training, any project that is aiming to improve workplace conditions can have only limited success.
