Personal Ergonomics is the science of working smart: learning to position and move the working body to avoid fatigue, damage and injury. The Personal Ergonomics Guide Series shows everyone, in easy to understand language, how to apply personal ergonomics on their jobs to work more comfortably and efficiently, be more productive and have more energy left over after work. Each guide discusses personal ergonomics information related to specific tasks: Material Handling, Computer Workstations, and Repetitive Tasks in Manufacturing.
