Ergonomics is the practice of adapting the job to the worker to reduce muscular injuries and upgrade the activities causing them.
Many hazards pose injury risks to an employee’s musculoskeletal system. A good example is carpal tunnel syndrome, a condition affecting the hand and wrist. Repetitive movements, vibration, temperature extremes, and awkward postures originating from improper work methods or improperly designed workstations, tools, and equipment are major causes.
This series of topics explores a wide assortment of muscular injuries then investigates methods to reduce or eliminate them by work teams, using their ingenuity, working closely with management.
USE THEM. This could be your cheapest benefit expenditure!
