Enterprise HealthErgonomics
The science of designing work to fit the worker, reducing musculoskeletal strain and injury.
Key facts
- The science of fitting the job to the worker.
- Targets repetition, force and awkward posture that cause MSDs.
- Informs job-demands analysis, accommodation and return-to-work plans.
What it means
Ergonomics evaluates workstations, tools and tasks to reduce risk factors like repetition, force and awkward posture that drive musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Ergonomic assessments inform job-demands analyses, accommodation and return-to-work plans, and prevention programs that show up in injury trends.
Frequently asked
What problems does ergonomics prevent?
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused by repetition, force, awkward postures and overexertion. Ergonomic assessments redesign workstations, tools and tasks to reduce those risk factors.
How does ergonomics connect to occupational health?
Assessment findings feed job-demands analyses, accommodation and return-to-work plans, and prevention programs — and the results show up in the injury trends a program tracks.
