Ergonomic Hazard

Description

Ergonomic hazard identification identifies workplace issues that might contribute to musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs), such as uncomfortable postures, repeated actions, excessive force, and poorly built workstations. 

Workplaces can lessen these dangers by redesigning workstations for optimal posture, using job rotation to avoid repetition, and providing ergonomic training to employees. Adjustable seats or ergonomic gadgets can minimize strain while promoting frequent breaks and stretching exercises to help prevent injuries. These initiatives can boost employee health and productivity.
