Safety Knowledge Base- Ergonomics
Ergonomics
Considering that over
100 different injuries
can result from repetitive motions on the job and that
hundreds of thousands of workers
suffer injuries due to
repetetive motion
or
overexertion
on the job each year, employees and employers would geatly benefit from
Ergonomics.
While ergonomics related injuries are seldom fatal they can be
debilitating-
even
career ending-
for employees and
very costly
for employers.
Ergonomics
will help you identify and assess
ergonomic hazards
and institute an
OSHA required ergonomic protection program
to either prevent them or alleviate their effects.
