ABSTRACT
This review article describes Ergonomics as the science of prevention from an integrative approach. A bibliographic search was carried out in databases such as Scopus and Web of Science. Historical antecedents show a formal consideration of the interactions between human beings and their work environment. As society progressed, Ergonomics transformed its focus to become the science that applies scientific knowledge of human capabilities and limitations to the design of products, systems and environments to achieve occupational wellbeing. A description of definitions, background, function and importance of this science is presented. Methods and models of environmental ergonomics are described. The role of Ergonomics in the problems faced by modern society is outlined. In summary, Ergonomics is a discipline at the service of management that seeks labor welfare without discriminating the profession, it is transversal to all professional practice..
KEY WORDS: Well-being, Human capital, Importance, Labor productivity, Job satisfaction.
