As an ergonomist with WorkSafeBC, Sania Safari provides education and consultation for ergonomics/human factors for the employers and workers of British Columbia. By examining the design and layout of the workplace, tools and equipment, workflow, and environment, she determines how these elements affect work performance and how they may impact workplace safety.

As Sania will explain, the goal of ergonomics is to optimize system performance, improve personal safety, and reduce the risk for injury. It’s all about designing a work task to fit the worker, making the work safer and more efficient.
