Abstract
It is generally known that an appropriate workplace design has long-term consequences on worker and can prevent musculoskeletal discomfort, improve productivity and work efficiency, reduce production costs and optimize human well-being. Worker is actually the center of production system and is the employer’s most important resource. To achieve an optimum balance between the workers’ and the company’s interests a systematic approach to the workplace design is very important. The benefits of well-designed jobs, equipment, and workplaces are numerus and can be summarized in improved productivity, safety, health, and increased satisfaction for the employees.
Although the literature in the field of ergonomic workplace design is extensive, there is a lack of expert knowledge regarding workers with disabilities and ergonomic workplace design for these workers. The aim of our research was therefore to address this defectiveness and to propose corresponding modes to overcome exposed problems.
