This paper proposes a literature review effectively on various assessment tools for different workplaces. Designing a workspace is based on the principle that there are correlations between workplace and body dimensions that cause body posture to be adapted. The main aim is to provide the reader with an accurate overview on the main scientific approaches proposed by researchers working in this area. The paper passes through the description of several research works as they run through the literature. An ergonomically design workplaces improve production and ensure the safety of workers. The importance given to human beings rather than on technical considerations. There are different methods, principles and tools applied for improving the interaction between humans and their working environment.
