Ergonomics is the study of fitting jobs to workers' physical capabilities and limitations to optimize safety, comfort and productivity. It emerged in response to high rates of musculoskeletal injuries from repetitive or sustained awkward positions. Ergonomic principles aim to reduce injuries by identifying and minimizing risk factors like forceful exertions, awkward postures, repetition and vibration. Proper ergonomic practices like frequent stretching, taking breaks and maintaining neutral postures can help prevent cumulative trauma disorders and musculoskeletal strains or sprains.
This PowerPoint by Atlantic Training gives a general overview of proper industrial ergonomics, as well as how to prevent workplace musculoskeletal disorders.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. WHAT DOES IT MEAN…..?
Derived from two Greek words:
“Nomoi” meaning natural laws
“Ergon” meaning work
Hence, ergonomists study human
capabilities in relationship to work
demand.
Ergonomics is the science and the art of fitting the job and the
workplace to workers’ needs.
It is the study of work
It is a way to make jobs/tasks
fit the employees better
It is a way to make work easier
3. WHY ERGONOMICS EMERGED…?
As early as 18th
century doctors noted that
workers who required to maintain body positions
for long periods of time developed
musculoskeletal problems.
Within last 20 years research has clearly
established connections between certain job tasks
and RSI or MSD.
4. TYPES OF ERGONOMICS
Physical ergonomics is the human body’s responses
to physical and physiological work loads. Repetitive
strain injuries from repetition, vibration, force, and
posture fall into this category.
Cognitive ergonomics deals with the mental processes
and capacities of humans when at work. Mental
strain from workload, decision making, human error,
and training fall into this category.
Organizational ergonomics deals with the
organizational structures, policies and processes in
the work environment, such as shift work, scheduling,
job satisfaction, motivation, supervision, teamwork,
telecommuting, and ethics.
5. ROLE IN FSP
As a facilities and services planner one should
provide safety and work in the work station.
The study of ergonomics enables a person to
know how to provide safety for a worker and his
environment.
6. OBJECTIVES
The objective is to improve the efficiency of operation by
taking into account a typical person's size, strength, speed,
visual acuity, and physiological stresses, such as fatigue,
speed of decision making, and demands on memory and
perception.
To maximize productivity while lowering the risk of
Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). MSDs develop as a
result of long term exposure to a combination of ergonomic
risk factors such as repetition, high forces and awkward
postures. Examples of MSDs include carpal tunnel
syndrome, tendonitis and back disorders.
7. EFFECTS OF ERGONOMICS
Two classifications of ergonomic injuries
Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD’s) –
exposure driven
Strains/Sprains – instantaneous (event
driven)
Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTD’s)
Injury to soft tissue caused by prolonged
exposure to multiple ergonomic risk factors
Typically develop in small body segments
(i.e. fingers, wrists, elbows, and neck)
8. Examples of CTD’s
Tendon disorders:
Inflammation of tendon and/or tendon sheathing
caused by repeated rubbing against ligaments, bone,
etc.
Lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow)
Nerve disorders:
Compression of nerves from repeated or sustained
exposure to sharp edges, bones, ligaments, and/or
tendons
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Neurovascular disorders:
Compression of blood vessels and/or nerves from
repeated exposure to vibration or cold temperatures
Raynaud’s phenomenon (white finger syndrome)
9. Strains & Sprains
Injury to connective tissue caused by single forceful
event: lifting heavy objects in awkward position
Common to large body segments (i.e. back, legs,
and shoulders)
Risk of injury increases with the presence of
multiple risk factors
11. WHAT TO DO…..?
PREVENT,PREVENT,PREVENT
P Warm up & stretch before activities that are
repetitive, static or prolonged
i Take frequent breaks from ANY sustained
posture every 20-30 minutes
- Respect pain- positions or stop painful activity
s Recognize early signs of inflammatory process,
& tx early
s Be aware of workstation environment.
12. ➨ Post your group’s BODY MAP on the wall.
➨ Compare the BODY MAPS.
What seems to be the same about
the BODY MAPS?
What do the BODY MAPS tell us
about construction work?
HOW TO REDUCE MSD
13. MAINTAIN NEUTRAL POSTURE
a) Maintain erect position of back
& neck w/ shoulders relaxed
b) Position equipment & work directly in
front of and close to your major tasks
c) Keep upper arms close to the body,
elbows 90-100 degrees
d) Keep feet flat on floor, upper body weight
resting on “sits bones”
e) Wrists as neutral as possible; safe zone for
wrist movement is 15 degrees in all
directions
14. MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders)
MSDs (Musculoskeletal Disorders)
Hardhat Ergonomics-PowerPoint Presentation 1.2 (November 2000) Slide 14
A study done by the University of Iowa has shown that construction
workers hurt!
• 70% report pain in their
lower back
• 46% report pain in their
knees
• 43% report pain in their
wrists and hands
• 42% report pain in their
shoulders and necks
(The University of Iowa Construction Survey, 1996)
15. Avoid bending neck forward for prolonged
periods of time (*remember quadruple the
force); use a copy holder
p Avoid static positions for prolonged time;
muscles fatigue---MOVE to circulation!
16. Alternate activities frequently; rotate heavy
&/or repetitive tasks w/ lighter less repetitive
ones.
t If sx become worse REASSESS task setup &
look for alternative methods
t Avoid repetitive or prolonged grip activities
Avoid pinching w/ wrist in flexion or wrist
deviation (bending to side)
n Take frequent breaks to stretch & rest hands

21. ADVANTAGES
A successful ergonomics program utilizes the
skills of many disciplines, including engineering,
psychology, medical, safety, management and the
employees or associates
Applications range from the design of work areas
(including office furniture, automobile interiors,
and aircraft cockpits) to the disposition
of switches and gauges on the control panels of
machinery to determining the size, shape, and
layout of keys on computer terminals
and character height, color, and clarity on video
displays.
22. ADVANTAGES
The benefits of applying ergonomic principles:
- Maximize productivity, efficiency and quality;
- Reduce MSD risk by eliminating or minimizing
ergonomic risk factors;
- Improve employee morale; and
- Cost savings associated with injury-related
absenteeism, treatment, new hire training and
WCB claims.
It can help you do work safely
It can make you more comfortable
It can prevent injuries
23. SUMMARY
Minimize ergonomic risk factors in your area
Stretch throughout the shift especially before and
after activities that require awkward positions or
lifting
Pay attention to your body and know your physical
limitations
Report ergonomics issues through appropriate
channels.
Ergonomic injuries are preventable, and you own
your own safety
24. AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION
IS WORTH A POUND OF
CURE !
