Abstract

Ergonomics is a science that often gets limited among business users to topics exclusively related to legislated health and safety measurements, regardless of its usual difficult to be simplified, wide-ranging subject matters. This leads to its poor and limited application in industrial contexts by managers and decision makers. Additionally, the existing literature on the topic does not provide an easy starting point for a working professional, which hinders non-specialists from beginning their education process in the benefits of a well-applied ergonomics strategy. In order to facilitate this process and support managers in their ergonomics journey, the current research proposes an ergonomics development model and auditing tool. The purpose of the model is to increase managerial understanding of ergonomic aspects in their field, by using a modified version of an already widely spread auditing tool as the backbone of the endeavor.
