Mary Kay: Hi, Dave. Tell us about erogonomics.
Dave Powell: Ergonomics is the applied science of equipment and environment design focused on the comfort, efficiency and safety of users.
Mary Kay: OK, so can you tell us some main objectives of ergonomics in the workplace, Dave?
Dave: The primary goals of ergonomics are to maximize the health and productivity of employees while preventing muscle strain, eyestrain, and other injuries.
Mary Kay: All right. Thanks, Dave. Have a great afternoon.
Dave: You, too. Talk to you soon.
