Ergonomics Consulting in San Francisco CA is the science of designing the workstation to fit within the capabilities, limitations, and anthropometrics of the worker. Anthropometry is the science that defines physical measures of a person’s size, form, and functional capacities. Applied to occupational injury prevention, anthropometric measurements are used to study the interaction of workers with tasks, tools, machines, vehicles, and personal protective equipment – especially to determine the degree of protection against dangerous exposures, whether chronic or acute. Designs that are incompatible with normal anthropometric measurements of a workforce may result in unwanted incidents, such acute and/or chronic repetitive motions injuries.
