Applications

More than twenty technical subgroups within the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society (HFES) indicate the range of applications for ergonomics. Human factors engineering continues to be successfully applied in the fields of aerospace, aging (старіння), health care, IT, product design, transportation, training, nuclear and virtual environments, among others. Kim Vicente, a University of Toronto Professor of Ergonomics, argues that the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl is attributable to plant designers not paying enough attention to human factors. "The operators were trained but the complexity of the reactor and the control panels nevertheless outstripped (випереджати) their ability to grasp (схоплювати) what they were seeing [during the prelude to the disaster]."

Physical ergonomics is important in the medical field, particularly to those diagnosed with physiological ailments (нездужання) or disorders (непорядках) such as arthritis (both chronic and temporary) or ¹carpal tunnel syndrome. Many ergonomically designed products are also used or recommended to treat or prevent such disorders, and to treat pressure-related chronic pain.

¹a condition characterized by pain and tingling ( відчувати кольки у затерплих місцях) in the fingers, caused by pressure on a nerve as it passes under the ligament(зв’язки) situated across the front of the wrist
