This paper suggests a vision of present possibilities of modern ergonomics, and an application model of the proposed system in the digital environment of digital plant. Future trends and visions use a proactive approach of modern ergonomics integrated with sustainable success management. The implementation of new approaches digital plant of ergonomics and occupational safety and health management assumes synergic effect brought by the harmony between proactive ergonomics and risk management in everyday working operations. It makes it possible to improve both safety and production quality. The application of innovative methods and progressive software tools as digitalization using 3D scanning and workplace modeling in Texnomatix Jack with augmented reality, enables plants to increase their production quality, to reduce the number of defective products, to carry out efficient maintenance, to identify risks on time, to increase human factor safety and reliability before launching the actual operation of the system, as well as to prevent losses in the very pre-production phase.
