OSHA Occupational Safety and Health Administration (DOL) Goal is to ensure safe and healthful workplaces Prevention through training, inspections Penalties for violations

Accidents Result of unsafe conditions, behaviors Low base rate Can usually practice unsafe behaviors and not have an accident Tends to discourage safe behaviors Accident proneness – some employees are more susceptible to accidents

Ergonomics Musculoskeletal disorders (carpal tunnel) are a major source of workplace injury Poultry processing Keyboarding/mouse usage Lifting Ergonomic assessment, redesign can help

OSHA Fact Sheets What are they used for? What information do they contain? What examples did you find?
