The science of fitting the job to the worker is called ergonomics. It happens when there is a mismatch between the physical requirements of the job and the physical capacity of the worker, which can result to work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). It is the practice of designing equipment and work tasks to conform to the capability of the worker. Lastly, it provides a means for adjusting the work environment and work practices to prevent injuries before they occur.
