ERGONOMIC ASSESSMENTS
WHAT IS ERGONOMICS?
Ergonomics is improving the “fit” between the worker, the work environment and the work being performed. Identifying injury risks in the workplace related to design, operations, worker anthropometry, work habits, environment, work flow or other related factors is the first step to reducing the costly musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) prevalent in today’s workplaces. MSDs are general aches, pains and injuries in the soft tissues and joints. They occur most frequently in the neck, lower back and upper limbs.
These musculoskeletal disorders account for a significant proportion of worker absenteeism. Carrying out ergonomic workplace and workstation assessments will help to identify work activities which increase the risk of workers developing musculoskeletal disorders. Early identification of such activities can allow early intervention to reduce the risk of injury. Such intervention may include changes to the workstation, to work equipment, to work postures or to the system of work
