1618 Understanding and Controlling Ergonomic Risk Factors (DVD)
Ergonomic controls are used in almost all workplaces to prevent Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs),
\often called cumulative trauma disorders or repetitive stress injuries. Workers often ignore the signs and symptoms
of these disorders until a chronic condition has developed and they often don’t know the measures they can take to
prevent them. That’s the purpose of this program—to explain what ergonomics and Musculoskeletal Disorders
are and the measures your organization takes to control ergonomic risk factors.
TOPICS INCLUDE:
- How the company’s ergonomic program and ergonomic controls work to help prevent MSDs,
- How and why to report symptoms of MSDs,
- Which work practice controls to follow for various body parts,
- How to lift and carry loads properly to reduce the risk of MSDs and,
- Features both office and industrial settings to illustrate important safety lessons about ergonomics.
