On average, 34 percent of work injuries involving days away from work are musculoskeletal-related disorders, according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics.
Poor workstation or site design creates not only safety and health issues, but also operational challenges. These issues may stifle productivity, cause quality variances, as well as contribute to employee absenteeism and turnover.
Understanding your ergonomic exposures and then mitigating those risks is an important part of any workplace productivity and safety strategy.
What Will You Say When They Ask What Happened?
If you are concerned about ergonomics, ask yourself the following questions:
Do I know what my employees’ ergonomic exposures are?
How many of my workers’ compensation claims are MSD-related?
Have I created a safe and productive work environment for my employees?
