Ergonomics in the Workplace, Paper360º March/April 2023

What is ergonomics?

Searching online produces multiple definitions, many based on geography and discipline. However, the Oxford Language Dictionary defines ergonomics as the study of people’s efficiency in their working environment, also commonly referred to as “human factors.”

The study of human factors originated years ago—with some placing it in the early 1940s—and its importance in the workplace has continually gained prominence over the decades, so much so that it now occupies a significant role in leading safety programs. With that in mind, Pulp and Paper Safety Association (PPSA) member Matthew Kanneberg recently created and hosted an educational webinar series focused on how to build, align, maintain, and support successful ergonomics programs in the workplace.
