Occupational physiology


Occupational physiology is an area of human factors and Ergonomics that deals with the physiological functions of the human body and their ability to cope with the stresses and strains associated with Work. It focuses in particular on the performance capabilities and limits of people and frequently utilises a workload/strain concept.

Findings from occupational physiology can be used to adapt working practices to the needs of people. Applied occupational physiology examines specific aspects such as:

  • Occupational hygiene
  • Occupational health and safety
  • Workplace Lighting
  • Indoor climate

By investigating and assessing work-relevant procedures, companies can derive suggestions for how these processes can be arranged with a focus on preventing health complaints. Such suggestions can include ergonomic work bench Design and the optimisation of human-machine interfaces. Occupational physiology is particularly important in the modern world because working conditions are changing at a rapid pace due to the emergence of new technologies and working models.
