Ergonomics is the application of knowledge about
humans to the design of equipment, systems (e.g. safe systems
of work, procedures) and environments for humans to use. Ergonomics
incorporates elements from many subjects including anatomy,
physiology, psychology and design to help make sure that anything
a person may use as part of their job or their social life
is designed according to established ergonomic principles
or best practices. Such principles are designed to make sure
that the things that people need to use are designed with
their capabilities in mind, making products and environments
comfortable, safe and efficient to use.
At The Keil Centre we provide Ergonomics expertise
whether you are designing from scratch or buying off the shelf.
We can provide specific or general design advice and audits
based upon best practice design principles. We can also help
you to evaluate a number of rival designs offered by suppliers
of equipment to help you select equipment that will be safe,
cost effective and efficient to use.
