his research is an attempt how to create an ergonomic

culture in companies. The amount and duration of efforts

can be different from one company to another even in the same

country. My presentation tries to explain the necessary steps: 1.

education on ergonomics for white and blue collar people. 2. to

determine a strategy for initiatingawider and longer participatory

process towards workplace improvements. 3. selecting pilot

work stations to obtain and concentrate on collecting necessary

data about real problems. 4. find applicable solution methods.

5. selecting the most appropriate method for workers and for

company. 6. controlling the results. This research shows us

also the differences in application methods because of cultural

factors in different countries.
