The second option is correct.
Ergonomics is the science of designing the job, tools, equipment, and work area to fit the worker — their physical capabilities, limitations, and needs — rather than forcing the worker to adapt to a poorly designed job.
Brief examples: adjustable chairs and desks, properly positioned monitors and controls, tool handles shaped to reduce grip strain, and job rotation to limit repetitive motion. Benefits include fewer injuries, less fatigue, and higher productivity.
