WHAT IS ERGONOMICS?
ERGONOMICS - The study of the design of work in
relation to the physiological and psychological
capabilities of people (matching the work place
to the worker.)
30
SCOPE OF ERGONOMIC INJURIES

• CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS (CTDS) are health
  disorders arising from repeated biomechanical
  stress.
• CTD involves damage to the tendons, tendon
  sheaths, related bones, muscles, and nerves of
• Hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, neck, back.

31
MORE FREQUENTLY OCCURRING OCCUPATIONALLY INDUCED
DISORDERS

• CARPEL TUNNEL SYNDROME
• EPICONDYLITIS (TENNIS ELBOW)
• TENDINITIS
• TENOSYNOVITIS (INFLAMMATION OF
• TENDON SHEATH)
• SYNOVITIES (INFLAMMATION OF THE LUBRICATING FLUID
  OF THE JOINTS)
• STENOSING TENOSYNOVITIS OF THE FINGERS
  (INFLAMMATION OF TENDON Sheath)
• LOW BACK PAIN

32
SOME POTENTIAL INDICATORS/SYMPTOMS OF CTDS

• Trends in accidents and injuries
• Incidents of CTD
• Absenteeism
• High turnover rate
• Working conditions noted by people with
  disabilities

• Complaints about muscle-skeleton pain
• High overtime and increased work rate
• Manual material handling/repetitive motion task
• Poor product quality

33
ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROLS

• Controls such as
• Rotating employees to jobs with dissimilar
  physical requirements
• Establishing work/rest schedules
• Training employees to use appropriate work
  methods when engineering controls are not feasible

34
ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES

• Engineering techniques are the preferred
  mechanism for controlling ergonomic hazards.
  This may entail redesigning the work station,
  work methods, and

tools to reduce the demands of the job, such as
exertion, repetition, and awkward positions.
