Understanding the Benefits of Ergonomics

Ergonomics refers to the design of jobs and workplaces for the workers and the work they do, instead of trying to change jobs, for their jobs.
"Good ergonomics to prevent injuries, increase the comfort and fatigue. It also improves the quality and quantity of work and the profitability of a company.

MSD
Workers can receive ilsuitedouleurs muscle Scheletriche work thatthe towers not to them.
Tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome are two types of muscle-skeletal disorders associated with ergonomic problems.
The symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders include discomfort, pain, pain, numbness, tingling, decreased range of motion, decreased strength and / or swelling at the level of articolareioni or members.
The symptoms are not seulementsagradables May, but the inability of workers remains in their pbehindern the work area.
For example, after he has been on a fast assembly, a middle-aged woman, do not have the strength to have a cup of coffee, let alone for its demanding task.

Risk Factors
Even if it is not a cause, other factors may increase the likelihood of dVILUPPARE musculoskeletal disorders:
Repetitivos movements (a task too big or too fast)
The exercise of power (eg an heavy object)
Awkward posture (eg, wrist bent, head forward)
Static position (stay too long in one position)
Mechanical pressure (to bone)
Heavy

Installation work
Settings May be the best way to prevent injuries ergonomicheiques.
For example: a few days aprèsde a new job, a long-term employees began with complaints in the arms and wrists.
Labor is not changed, only dis workstation.
He and his superiors do not take into account the occurrence of problems.
After reflection on the possible causes and consultation with staff trained in ergonomics, they realized that the new work is more aparavant.
Workstción adjustable PARDE the employee may, at the height of the previous level.
A few hours later, her symptoms disappeared.

Anti-Fatigue Mats
Maiti Many industrial work, which for a long time to stand orFeet along a curve.
Standing or walking on hard surfaces like cement on the back, increasing fatigue and placing workers at risk of low back injury.
Provides a place tapistion time for walking or standing, and in the production or processing.
Anti-fatigue mats are available in different materials for industrial environments. Some work comes inMBI dry or wet, while others offer chemical resistance.
Slip-Widerstand is an advantage of the safety of the many anti-fatigue mat.

Cost-Benefit Analysis
In 1992, the average cost of a lumbar spine was $ 9000 and $ 35,000 for the surgery of the operation.
The cost of surgical carpal tunnel release of $ 4,000 to $ 10,000 per hand.
These figures do not include serionos loss of productivity and welfare of workers from back injuries and carpal tunnel syndrome.

According to a recent study conducted throughchnittliche payback period of 25 ergonomic interventions was 0.82 years. The companies are the high cost of new equipment like a reason not to implement ergonomic solutions. However, the economic benefits of good ergonomics was repeated.
