Are you keen on improving productivity in your manufacturing industry?

Is your workshop struggling with worker\'s health care costs?

Want to provide a safe. comfortable work environment for your workers?

The answer to all these questions is ergonomics.

We all know that a productive work environment is a safer work environment. And ergonomics is a crucial workplace safety concern because a non-ergonomic environment can cause various health issues. A host of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are attributed to poor ergonomics in the workplace.

These include carpal tunnel syndrome, sore back, tendonitis, pinched nerves, muscle tear, sprained muscles and more.

Benefits of workplace ergonomics

As per a Washington State DLI study, there are at least 5 proven benefits of workplace ergonomics:

1. Reduces costs: By reducing risk factors, you can prevent costly MSDs, and reduce lost workdays

2. Improves productivity: By allowing for good posture, less exertion, better reaches, workstations become more efficient.

3. Improves quality: Fatigued workers don\'t perform as well as they should and that could lead to product quality issues.

4. Improves employee engagement: Less discomfort and fatigue during the workday can reduce absenteeism, improve morale and increase employee involvement.

5. Creates a better safety culture: Ergonomics demonstrates your company\'s concern for safety and health, and healthy employees are a company\'s most valuable asset.

Implementing ergonomics in industrial workplaces

There are so many ways in which both employers and workers can promote ergonomics in industry. Some of these include on-going training, adjusting shift hours so workers are given breaks, providing good material lifting & transportation equipment, and setting up anti-fatigue mats.

Frequently used tools should be withing easy reach, knee pads and stools should be accessible to reduce squatting, extension poles and adjustable height platforms should be used to avoid reaching.

Ergonomic best practices also include workstations. Keeping the task and user in mind, ergonomic desks, tables, chairs should be designed.
