Economics has some social aspects to it. Not everyone that’s knowledgeable enough to identify and mitigate ergonomic related risk factors is right for the job.
Having a specialist that can eloquently and strategically explain how to modify both engineering design and behavioral factors to create an ideal relationship between the Worker and their workstation is very important. It is true that ergonomics is a multi disciplinary profession, and Specialist come from various backgrounds and experience to which would be a factor to decide upon when selecting the right organist for your needs.
However, much overlooked is the social skills aspect to the profession. You can find out a lot by talking to the economic professional before coming to a conclusion on who might be best to suit as the one for your for your business or for your individual needs. Consultants are part of a conglomerate of a team that offers expertise in various sectors and overcoming challenges that may be outside of a typical ergonomist's wheelhouse. Especially, if you train an internal candidate to perform ergonomic assessments, you may find various roadblocks and just not see things outside of a thin lens.
For instance, if you are a manufacturing facility and the workers perform a lot of manual material handling tasks you may want to seek someone with an engineering background. You may also seek out someone who has a lot of experience in warehouse storage back safety, and knowledge on how to quantitatively measure forces and posture related to those industrial tasks.
If you’re seeking to start an economics program for only office workers, you may want to seek out an individual that has some management experience and experience working across various departments and putting things together well. If you’re looking for an ergonomist to come in and perform individual assessments because you have employees that are experiencing discomfort related to their work, you may want to find an ergonomic specialist explain eloquently what the cause of factors are that could be associated to the discomfort they’re having.
