A corporation that is monitoring and working to prevent ergonomic related workplace factors is so much better than being reactive to onsite injuries and incidents. Businesses especially in California should provide a safe working environment for their labor which is their greatest resource. A safe workplace starts with identifying the highest cause of workplace injuries: ergonomics. So be sure to include ergonomic risk factors as you identify the first steps developing your safety related programs. Depending on how mature your business is, maybe a start-up or dinosaur, you can use the following tools to help identify ergonomic risk factors in the workplace:
  • Do active surveillance with an ergonomically trained specialist.
  • Perform individual ergonomic evaluations and group training.
  • Initiate a Six-Sigma program to help identify and track the recommended actionable items.
 
Once you’ve identified hazards in your workplace, fixing them is the next step. The more ergonomic risks and more significant risks you fix, the more injuries you will prevent in the long run. Your company will save money as well and have a happier workforce too. Mitigating the hazards takes time and resources but if focused in the most efficient way, can end up saving the company dollars in the long run. Get the low hanging fruit risks fixed immediately, then assign a team to overtake those tasks that need time and coordination. When faced with an ergonomic related risk factor, consider these types of solutions:
  • Change what is used, which focuses on finding a substitute tool that helps the user use more neutral postures.
  • Change how work’s done, which looks at a safer method to perform the task essentially shortening or eliminating the time a worker is exposed to the ergonomic risk factors, whether they are force, duration, vibration, awkward postures, etc.
  • Change something about the work to remove the hazard completely which can involve automation, equipment, etc.
Once you’ve identified your workplace hazards and potential solutions, take the actions necessary and ensure that these are kept in place with measures meant to secure the implementation of the solutions. It is best to re-evaluate the solutions to ensure that they are effective, if not reiterate with a slightly different strategy that would work better for your company culture. If your company may need assistance with the process of uncovering ergonomic risks and how to mitigate them using cost effective solutions reach out to Ergobility today.
