Term	Definition
Cognitive ergonomics	a subset of ergonomics that studies cognition in work settings, in order to optimize human well-being and system performance.
Ergonomics	the science of fitting the job to the worker. it is a multidisciplinary science that seeks to confrom the workplace and all of its physiological aspects to the workers
Physical Ergonomics	human anatomical, anthropometric, physiological and biomechanical characteristics fall under this branch of ergonomics as they relate to physical activity
Physucal Ergonomics	working postures, materials handling, repetitive movements, WMSDs, workplace layout, safe and health fall under this branch of ergonomics
Cognitive Ergonomics	mental processes such as perception, memory, reasoning, and motoro response fall under this branch of ergonomics as they affect interactions among humans and other elements of a system
Cognitive Ergonomics	Mental workload, decision-making, skilled performance, human-computer interaction, human reliability, work stress and training as these may relate to human-system design.
Organizational Ergonomics	the optimization of sociotechnical systems including their organizational structures, policies, and processes.
Organizational Ergonomics	communication, crew resource management, work design, design of working times, teamwork, participatory design, community ergonomics, cooperative work, new work paradigms, virtual organizations, telework, and quality manamagent fall under this branch of er
2.6 to 3.8%	estimates from Europe's economics cost of all work-related ill health range from ____ to ____ of GDP
40 to 50%	a high proportion maybe up to ___ to ___ of the costs will be for MSDs
