Opis

Ergonomics and human factors have almost identical characteristics and identities and have both developed in similar ways, within the same period, and for the same reasons. The ergonomics philosophy is the amalgamation of information from psychology, physiology and engineering to enable the envirnoment to be designed to fit the person. Ergonomics and human factors evolved at around the time of World War II, when fighting and defensive machines were being built far beyond the capacities and capabilities of the operators.
