WHAT IS ERGONOMICS? Ergonomics is the study of the ‘fit’ between the physical demands of the workplace and the employees who perform the work…considering variability in human capabilities when designing, selecting, or modifying equipment, tools, work tasks, or the work environment.

WHY BE CONCERNED ABOUT ERGONOMICS? Leading Cause of Workplace Injury: Ergonomic Hazards Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics YEAR# OF CASES% OF ALL OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES ,16030% ,39029% ,44029% ,74028% ,40034%

WHY BE CONCERNED ABOUT ERGONOMICS How Much Do MSDs Cost Employers? YEARCOST (in billions)% of TOTAL COST ALL WORKPLACE INJURIES $ Source: Liberty Mutual Safety Index Source: Liberty Mutual Safety Index Source: Liberty Mutual Safety Index Source: Liberty Mutual Safety Index 2011

DIRECT COSTS ● Higher workers’ compensation premiums ● Medical services to assess & accommodate injured workers Source: Easy Ergonomics. OR-OSHA

INDIRECT COSTS ● Employee turnover increased ● Absenteeism increased ● Retraining needed ● Product quality affected Source: Easy Ergonomics. OR-OSHA

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU MIGHT HAVE AN ERGONOMICS PROBLEM?

HOW DO YOU KNOW MIGHT HAVE AN ERGONOMICS PROBLEM? ● Employees report problems ● Employees modify tools, equipment ● Production bottlenecks ● Product quality affected ● Employee absentee/turnover increase ● OSHA 300 Log patterns ● Workers’ compensation cases increase

WHAT’S WRONG WITH THESE PICTURES? WHERE’S THE ERGONOMIC HAZARD? WHY DOES THIS HAZARD EXIST WHAT’S CAUSING THE HAZARD?

HOW CAN EMPLOYERS PREVENT/REDUCE ERGONOMIC HAZARDS? Engineering Controls Administrative Controls Personal Protective Equipment

Be careful about how to fix the problem. The control should not eliminate one risk factor and create another.
