      abstract = {Ergonomics is the study of how working conditions, machines and equipment can be arranged in order that people can work with them more efficiently. The general approach for designing the work place for the positive outcome of the worker and the corresponding factors. Industrial Ergonomics is a science on how to fit the task and working environment the worker using scientific data drawn from a variety of disciplines.  In Industrial System, the science of ergonomics seeks to adapt the job and workplace to the worker by designing tasks within the workers capabilities and limitations. The term ergonomics is neutral, takes no sides, neither of employers nor of employees. The various applications of industrial ergonomics which indirectly plays a vital role in the output of the respective industry. When the ergonomic is set right there is increase in the worker efficiency as well as the output. There is drastic reduction in the injuries to workers when the ergonomics is set up in the right way},
