Business Needs
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.
