N2  - A holistic review of ergonomic history shows that the science remains important for general occupational health and safety (OSH), the broad society, culture, politics and the design of everyday things. It provides an unconventional and multi- faceted viewpoint exploring ergonomics from a social, corporate and OSH perspective. Ergonomic solutions from this mind-set may re-define the science and it will change with companies that change within this socially hyper-connected world. Authentic corporate social responsibility (CSR) will counter "misleadership" by not approaching ergonomics with an afterthought. The review conclude that ergonomics will be stronger with social respect and ergonomic thinking based on the optimisation of anthropometric data, digital human models (DHMs), computer-aided tools, self-empowerment, job enrichment, work enlargement, physiology, industrial psychology, cybernetic ergonomics, operations design, ergonomic-friendly process technologies, ergonomic empowerment, behaviour-based safety, outcome-based employee wellness and fatigue risk management solutions, to mention a few.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
