INTRODUCTION FOR ERGONOMICS RISK ASSESSMENT

The prime objective of ergonomics assessment is PROACTIVE prevention. Finding the causes of ergonomics risks and taking steps to control or eliminate it can help prevent bodily pains and serious accidents from happening in the future. Accidents can rarely be attributed to a single cause. Work environment, job constraints, and supervisory or worker experience can all play a part. These factors must be examined to determine what role each had in causing the workers’ discomforts and workplace accidents.

Once the causes are established, precautions must be identified and implemented to prevent a recurrence. Investigators must always keep in mind that effective ergonomics assessment means fact-finding, not fault-finding.

This course provides an ideal approach to eliminate or minimize workers injuries, bodily pains and workplace accidents – not only meeting OSHA 19914 recommendations, but also promoting good and safe practices in any situation.
