Abstract
The paper examines the impact of the economic climate on the emergence of industrial ergonomics and on its future development. A need is identified for a greater economic emphasis in the promotion of ergonomics. A case is developed using examples from the manufacturing, steel, coal and power industries to show that poor ergonomics can reduce the day-by-day efficiency of industry and that ergonomic change can result in direct economic benefit. Examples are given covering both the health/safety and performance/productivity aspects of ergonomics.
