Abstract
This article examines the relationship between ergonomics, production efficiency, and human health from both scientific and practical perspectives. The study rests on a straightforward premise: many workplace problems cannot be attributed solely to equipment failure or employee inattentiveness. In the majority of cases, the root cause lies elsewhere — in a workplace not adapted to the human being, a work pace that disregards physiological limits, an information flow that overwhelms the employee, and management that fails to identify hazards in time.
The novelty of the study lies in treating ergonomics not as a narrow subject concerned with desk or chair specifications, but as an integral part of occupational safety, productivity, the prevention of occupational diseases, and safety culture. The analysis draws on the following documents of the Republic of Uzbekistan: Law No. URQ-410 "On Occupational Safety"; the Labour Code approved by Law No. URQ-798; Resolution No. CMR-819 on occupational safety regulations; Resolution No. CMR-263 on workplace attestation; and ILO Convention No. 155 ratified by Law No. URQ-969 . The analysis is further supported by international ergonomic standards, Resolution No. CMR-454 on occupational hygiene norms, and established findings from Russian and international ergonomics research.
