When ergonomic designs and concepts are not implemented or utilized properly, risk factors are created and hazards are introduced to the employee. The employee is then affected by contracting what is known as a musculoskeletal disorder.
Objective:
Musculoskeletal disorders are often confused with ergonomics. Musculoskeletal disorders are the problem and ergonomics is the solution. The purpose behind ergonomics is three-fold. It increases the comfort and productivity of employees and represents cost savings to the company.
Learn which body parts are most likely to sustain injury or illness by understanding the risk factors of various tasks – both in the office and manufacturing environment.
Discover how to complete a worksite analysis and what hazard prevention and controls are frequently used to reduce employee’s exposure to risks.
