Ergonomics 17-07-2010

Ergonomics is the science related to man and his work. Example safe lifting techniques,proper posture, appropriate seating position and adaptive equipments.
I observed the coconut seller and tried to study his ergonomics.
I tried and measured his tools like the knife, coconuts in relation to his hand, cart, chair etc.
I observed the way he cuts the coconut so perfectly that after three chops there is a hole in the middle and how he uses the same knife in different position to do different work.
How he also gives the coconut for a "take away" .
