What does ergonomics primarily study?

• The production of machines

• The interaction between people and products, systems, and environments

• The measurement of buildings

• The durability of materials

Ergonomic design helps reduce the risk of which of the following?

• Heart disease

• Repetitive strain injuries (RSIs)

• Hearing loss

• Obesity

HAVS (Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome) is caused by:

• Poor posture while sitting

• Long-term exposure to vibrating tools

• Loud noises in the workplace

• Overuse of display screens

Which ergonomic feature helps reduce HAVS in tools?

• Lightweight material

• Vibration-dampening handles

• Adjustable height

• Safety guards

What is the main benefit of ergonomic keyboards?

• They are cheaper than normal keyboards

• They minimize wrist strain and increase typing speed

• They require less electricity

• They improve internet connection

Ergonomics enhances safety by:

• Limiting user access

• Reducing risk of injury

• Increasing product costs

• Making products heavier

Functionality in ergonomics ensures that:

• Products look attractive

• Products function well for their intended use

• Products are affordable

• Products are easy to recycle

A kitchen knife with a non-slip grip is an example of ergonomics applied to:

• Efficiency

• Functionality

• Organisational design

• Cognitive ergonomics

Which of the following best demonstrates ergonomic effectiveness?

• A gaming controller with good grip and button placement

• A toy made of recycled plastic

• A pen available in many colors

• A screen protector for tablets

Ergonomics increases efficiency by:

• Reducing strain and fatigue

• Adding more features

• Making tasks harder

• Limiting user input
