Abstract
Ergonomics (or Human Factors) is the scientific discipline that deals with the understanding of the interactions between humans, other elements of a system and the environment. The ergonomist applies theories, principles, data and methods of all sciences, with a holistic systemic approach, in order to optimize the design for human well-being and overall system performance. All industrialized nations today refer to Ergonomics as an indispensable "tool" for the design of any product and more than 100 ISO-EN ergonomic standards have been promulgated to which any product and production process must comply. The purpose of Ergonomics is to identify a user-oriented design and, to this end, to provide the designer with guidelines to proceed in compliance with the constraints imposed by the physical and psychophysiological characteristics of the human being.
