Ergonomija je znanost o oblikovanju dela, opreme in delovnega mesta, ki se prilega zaposlenemu. Ta omogoča bolje opravljeno delo in poskrbi, da je delovno mesto varno in zaposleni zadovoljni. Pri oblikovanju oziroma načrtovanju delovnega okolja se mora čim bolj upoštevati individualne značilnosti zaposlenih. Potrebno je skrbno načrtovati in predvideti, kako bo videti delovno mesto, koga bomo nanje zaposlili in kaj od zaposlenega pričakujemo. Delovno okolje oziroma samo delovno mesto mora biti prilagojeno osebi, ki bo v njem delala. Ker smo ljudje različni, je to zelo težko, vendar se je potrebno temu čim bolj približati. Zaposleni, ki se dobro počuti na svojem delovnem mestu, bo vložil več truda v svoje delo, kar bo podjetju le koristilo. Stalno analiziranje, izpopolnjevanje in prilagajanje delovnega okolja trenutni situaciji pripomore k dobremu počutju zaposlenega in k uspešnemu delovanju podjetja. Ni dovolj samo oblikovati, ampak je potrebno tudi obdržati ergonomsko oblikovano delovno mesto.Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, equipment, and workplace to fit the employee.
