What is Ergonomics?
ERGO=“work”
NOMICS= “rules” or “laws”
Ergonomics literally means “the laws of work”
![Page 3: Ergonomics at workplace](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55a3ec361a28abc5378b4759/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
SO EXACTLY WHAT IS
ERGONOMICS?
It is study of people efficiency at their working
environment.
It is one of the definition of Ergonomics.
It is understandable that there are different
definitions because ergonomics is all about
differences
![Page 4: Ergonomics at workplace](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55a3ec361a28abc5378b4759/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
DIFFERENCES
This differences call for
different designs in
equipment , furniture,
Workstations and routines.
This are differences in
size, shape, strength and
ability of individual
workers.

ERGONOMICS
Ergonomics is used
in a workplace to
help prevent
repetitive and
cumulative injuries.
![Page 6: Ergonomics at workplace](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55a3ec361a28abc5378b4759/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
3 Main Ergonomic Principles:
1. Work activities should permit worker to adopt
several different healthy and safe postures.
2. Muscle forces should be done by the largest
appropriate muscle groups available
3. Work activities s/b performed with joints at
about mid-point of their ROM (esp. head,trunk,
UE)

FACTS
The average person working at a keyboard can perform 50,000 to 200,000 keystrokes a day
Overexertion & falls are the most common cause of workplace injury
An average of 125,000 back injuries due to improper lifting each year.
Muscles overuse results in tiny tears in the muscles and scarring; these contribute to inflammation and muscle stiffness

Ergonomic Factors
Two Categories of Ergonomic Factors
1. Environmental
Hearing
Vision
General comfort and health
2. Physical
![Page 9: Ergonomics at workplace](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55a3ec361a28abc5378b4759/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Environmental Factors
Some examples of ergonomic environmental problems
are:
Sick Building Syndrome
Excessive noise
Improper lighting
Temperature extremes

Physical Stressors
Physical stressors place pressure or stress on parts
of the body:
Joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, bones
Sometimes these injuries are referred to as
“Cumulative Trauma Disorders” (CTDs) or
“Repetitive Strain Injuries” (RSIs)
![Page 11: Ergonomics at workplace](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55a3ec361a28abc5378b4759/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

An ounce of Prevention is worth a
pound of cure !
![Page 19: Ergonomics at workplace](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55a3ec361a28abc5378b4759/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What to do ??
a) Warm up & stretch before activities that are repetitive, static or prolonged
b) Take frequent breaks from ANY sustained posture every 20-30 minutes
c) Respect pain positions or stop painful activity
d) Recognize early signs of inflammatory process
![Page 20: Ergonomics at workplace](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55a3ec361a28abc5378b4759/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Posture checkIncreased stress, decreased circulation…
![Page 21: Ergonomics at workplace](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55a3ec361a28abc5378b4759/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
PostureThink of posture in terms of joint position
Static and awkward postures lead to:
Decreased movement
Decreased circulation
Increased stress and fatigue
![Page 22: Ergonomics at workplace](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55a3ec361a28abc5378b4759/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Maintain Neutral Posture
a) Maintain erect position of back& neck without shoulders relaxed
b) Position equipment & work directly in front of and close to your major tasks
c) Avoid static positions for prolonged time; muscles fatigue---MOVE to circulation!
![Page 24: Ergonomics at workplace](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051314/55a3ec361a28abc5378b4759/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Modify Tasks
a) Alternate activities frequently; rotate heavy &/or repetitive tasks without lighter less repetitive ones.
b) If stress become worse REASSESS task setup & look for alternative methods
c) Avoid repetitive or prolonged grip activities
