Workplace safety is important for small businesses to reduce costs from injuries. By following safety protocols and identifying risks, businesses can make the workplace safer for employees. Musculoskeletal disorders from work can decrease employees' ability to care for their families outside of work. Proper reporting and documentation of workplace injuries is required for employees to receive workers' compensation benefits to cover medical costs. Employers must outline any restrictions to ensure employees understand their rights.
Work related musculoskeletal disorders (WRMSDs) occur when muscles, tendons, nerves or joints are stressed and overused on a repeated basis over a long period of time. This leads to damage of the body tissues. WRMSDs can cause pain, fatigue, stiffness, reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and tingling or numbness. Certain jobs and tasks that involve repetitive movements, forceful exertions, awkward postures, vibration, and static muscular work put workers at greater risk. Examples of common WRMSDs include back strains, rotator cuff injuries, and tenosynovitis. Implementing ergonomic improvements and training can help prevent WRMSDs.

Ergonomics is the study of fitting jobs and workplaces to human capabilities. It aims to maximize productivity while minimizing risks of musculoskeletal disorders. There are three types of ergonomics - physical, cognitive, and organizational. As a facilities planner, one should apply ergonomic principles to provide a safe work environment and workstations. Proper ergonomics can prevent injuries by reducing risk factors like repetitive motions, awkward postures, forceful exertions, and static loading.
Ergonomic hazards occur when work conditions strain the body through poor positioning, repetitive motions, or other workplace factors. They are difficult to identify as they cause gradual harm to health. Ergonomic hazards can happen in both offices and industrial settings due to issues like improperly adjusted workstations, chairs, lighting, or when work involves frequent lifting or awkward body positions that do not match a person's physical size.
Occupational health hazards can be chemical, physical, biological, or ergonomic in nature. Chemical hazards refer to exposure to toxic substances which can cause both acute and chronic health effects impacting major organ systems. Physical hazards include noise, vibration, temperature extremes, radiation, and illumination issues. Biological hazards arise from exposure to bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. Ergonomic hazards are due to improperly designed tools, workstations, tasks or environments which can cause musculoskeletal disorders. Stress is also an occupational health issue with physiological, behavioral and psychological manifestations if not properly managed.
This document defines key terms and concepts related to occupational health and safety. It discusses occupational health as promoting worker health through prevention, protection, and rehabilitation. Ergonomics is defined as adapting work to humans. Common occupational hazards include physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic and psychosocial factors. Diseases and injuries can result from exposures to these hazards. The document emphasizes applying principles of prevention, health monitoring, and education to promote occupational safety and health.
Ergonomics refers to designing the workplace to fit the worker in order to prevent injury and illness, make the job easier, and increase comfort. There are two main categories of ergonomic factors - environmental factors like lighting, noise, and temperature, and physical stressors that place strain on the body like repetitive motions and awkward postures. Simple adjustments to a workstation like using a wrist rest, adjusting a chair or monitor height, and taking regular breaks can help reduce physical stress and prevent cumulative trauma disorders.
The document provides information about workplace ergonomics and musculoskeletal disorders. It discusses:
1) The goals of an ergonomics program which include reducing injuries from awkward postures, static positions, reaching, bending, lifting, force, repetition, and vibration.
2) Common musculoskeletal disorders like carpal tunnel and back pain that can result from ergonomic risk factors in the workplace.
3) Strategies to improve ergonomics including proper chair, workstation, and equipment setup to minimize awkward postures and repetition and maximize comfort.
