Ergonomics is based upon the principle that working procedures and arrangements, such as the furniture used by people when working, and the kinds of motions that they make, can be planned to minimize stress and stress-related injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome. The reduction (or ideally, elimination) of such injuries is good for workers and also good for society, since everyone in the end pays for reduced productivity.
