Ergonomics_08-2011
Ergonomics have become a concern within the workplace as improper or poor ergonomics can cause repetitive strain injuries, resulting in lost productivity, worker’s compensation claims and other liabilities for an organization.
Today, American companies spend approximately $30 billion annually on Repetitive Stress Injuries and Cumulative Trauma Disorders. These injuries could be prevented or lessened in severity through ergonomics health and wellness training.
I created this Ergonomics PowerPoint to share with others to enhance training. Feel free to share it with others.
Ergonomics 8 2011
The document discusses ergonomics in industrial and office settings. It defines ergonomics as the study of the relationship between people and their work environment. The goal is to prevent injuries by designing physical work to fit the user. Improper posture and repetitive tasks can cause musculoskeletal disorders if risks like bending, twisting, force, and vibration are not addressed. Solutions include adjusting workstations, using ergonomic tools, taking breaks, stretching, and changing positions to reduce fatigue and discomfort.

General Workplace Safety
It is a common perception that accidents are unexpected or unplanned events, but in many instances, that’s not necessarily so. Some accidents result from unsafe conditions and work practices that have been ignored or tolerated for weeks, months, or even years.
Please join our webinar presentation to discover and review the truth about “Accidents”. Learn about the “Accident Pyramid” and most importantly, the “Preventive Measures” to avoid workplace injuries that we often refer to as “Accidents”.
Topics include:
Slips, Trips & Falls
Back Injuries & Prevention
Chemical Safety
Office Ergonomics and much more.
Presented by AlphaStaff Risk Control Consultant, Ben Abdallah.
Protect Your Back

ergonomics[1].pptx
This document discusses ergonomics and preventing musculoskeletal disorders. It defines ergonomics as fitting the task to the human to prevent injuries. Musculoskeletal disorders are caused by overuse of muscles, nerves, tendons and can lead to symptoms like fatigue, aching and stiffness. Common causes include repetitive motions, lifting, forceful movements and awkward postures. Proper ergonomic practices like adjustable equipment, taking breaks, good posture and lifting techniques can help reduce injuries. Back injuries are another common issue, so alternatives to lifting and following safe lifting steps are important. Reporting any signs of injury early can help address problems and prevent further harm.
Occupational-Health-and-Safety (2).pptx
The document discusses the importance of occupational health and safety (OHS) in the workplace. It outlines an employer's legal responsibilities to maintain a healthy and safe work environment. Implementing OHS practices can benefit a business by reducing injuries, improving productivity and employee retention, and lowering costs. The document provides tips for employers to comply with OHS laws such as providing a safe work environment, equipment, training, and facilities.
Working violance
Workplace violence can range from threats to physical assaults and is one of the leading causes of job-related deaths. Some workers are at higher risk, such as those who work alone, work with money or valuable property, or work in healthcare or community settings with extensive public contact. Employers can help protect employees by establishing a zero-tolerance violence policy, conducting workplace violence training, securing the workplace, providing personal safety devices for field staff, and developing policies for home healthcare visits. Employees should learn to recognize and avoid dangerous situations, report any safety concerns, and avoid traveling alone whenever possible. Following an incident, employers should provide medical treatment, report to police, inform victims of legal rights, discuss circumstances with employees, and offer counseling
