Need Of Ergonomics | Ergonomic India

Need for an Ergonomic Evaluation of a Job.

The objective is to evaluate potential risk factors for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) associated with performing the tasks and to find possible solutions, improve worker productivity, reduce fatigue and optimize the output and skills needed to perform. WMSD is a collective term for syndromes characterized by “work-related musculoskeletal disorders” to joints, muscles, tendons and other soft tissues, with or without physical manifestations. It can be caused by repetitive motions including vibrations, sustained or constrained postures, mechanical compression, and/or forceful movements.

“Ergo” means work and “nomics” means the study of,  Ergonomists examine the physical and mental capabilities and limits of the worker as they interact with tools, equipment, work methods, tasks, and the working environment. Ergonomics is the art and science of fitting workplace conditions and physical job demands with the capabilities & limitations of the person. Ergonomics examines the level of effort and the effect of fatigue on the employee and how to make the job design physically sustainable for an employee. It is an applied science that considers designing workplace components and arranging the workplace to maximize safe and efficient physical and mental interaction.

Ergonomics assessments identify potential ergonomics solutions and modifications related to the job, work-related discomfort and the individual employee.  The ergonomics needs are conveyed to the ergonomics team and management members via a report and spreadsheet of actions that can be taken to address the problems identified.  Ergonomics can improve work productivity, reduce injuries, reduce rework, reduce turnover, decrease fatigue levels and optimize the operator’s skills and increase job satisfaction by empowering the operator.
