Ergonomics testing

i was looking into the physical requirements for Melton, and it all looks like what seems to be standard for what I’m seeing for a lot of other trucking companies. Do a physical, be able to lift a certain amount, be able to squat, duck walk, climb onto and off of a trailer, all that stuff. I also saw though that the do ergonomic testing. I was looking and haven’t really been able to find any information on what ergonomics testing is so I was wondering if anyone here would be able to explain what it is and what is involved with it. I’ve heard of companies doing an agility test, is an ergonomics test the same thing or is it something else?

 

Thank you for the reply. So it’s basically just them telling you how to do the job safely and then making sure you understand it?
