How to Prevent MSDs & Maximize Human Performance with EvaluationErgonomics Plus
?
This webinar discusses the importance of evaluating ergonomic programs to maximize human performance and prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). It recommends conducting monthly reporting and annual audits to track program metrics over time. Monthly reports document guidelines established and key metrics, while annual audits assess overall program effectiveness. Evaluation provides opportunities for continuous improvement and proves the value of ergonomic initiatives. Data from clients of Ergo-Plus, the webinar host, showed significant cost reductions from 14% to 78% due to prevented MSDs after implementing ergonomic evaluations and interventions. Free evaluation resources are made available to webinar attendees.

How to Prevent MSDs and Maximize Human Performance with Early InterventionErgonomics Plus
?
This document discusses how early intervention can prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and maximize human performance. It explains that early intervention involves educating employees, encouraging early reporting of issues, responding quickly with evaluations, and following up. An athletic trainer is presented as ideally qualified to manage the early intervention process, given their expertise in injury prevention and human performance. The benefits of early intervention include preventing injuries, improving health and safety, and creating a healthier workforce.
The document describes an "Ergonomics Plus System" model for preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the workplace. It compares a sports team approach to injury prevention, led by an "athletic trainer", to a comprehensive workplace MSD prevention program. The program aims to reduce MSD risk factors through education, ergonomics, early intervention, and evaluation of employees. It outlines roles for management, health and safety staff, supervisors, and a safety team in implementing the MSD prevention process.
Seven Ergonomics Experts Weigh In: Should You Involve Shop Floor Team Members...Ergonomics Plus
?
The document discusses whether shop floor team members should be involved in the ergonomics process. It provides opinions from seven ergonomics experts who unanimously agree that team member involvement is important. The experts note that team members have valuable insights due to their first-hand experience performing the jobs. Involving team members can improve buy-in for ergonomic changes and lead to better solutions. One way to involve team members mentioned is having them participate in job assessments and provide feedback on difficulties and potential solutions.

The document discusses the aging workforce and how ergonomics can help accommodate older workers. It notes that 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 daily and most do not plan to fully retire at 65. It then outlines physical, physiological and psychosocial characteristics of aging workers like decreased strength and vision. It advocates applying ergonomics which means fitting jobs to workers' capabilities through engineering and administrative controls like adjustable lighting and allowing movement breaks. Proper ergonomics can help reduce injury risks for older employees.
Does your CEO understand the value of protecting and promoting worker health? Is OHS valued, prioritized and focused on as a core value within your organization?
Does your CEO ^get it ̄?
That¨s a question the National Safety Council poses each year for companies across the United States. The NSC has recently released the 2014 list of ten CEO¨s that ^get it ̄.
How to Prevent MSDs and Achieve Maximum Human PerformanceErgonomics Plus
?
This document outlines a 5-part process for preventing musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and maximizing human performance. The process includes establishing an MSD prevention program, evaluating risks, providing education and training, implementing early intervention strategies, and making ergonomic improvements. The goal is to identify and remove both ergonomic and individual risk factors over time to prevent MSDs and fatigue, keeping workers functioning at their peak health. Regular measurement and evaluation of results ensures the program's effectiveness in creating a healthy, engaged workforce with optimized workplace design.
The document discusses the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) tool, which is used to evaluate ergonomic risk factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders. RULA considers biomechanical and postural loads on the neck, trunk, and upper extremities. Users assign scores to different body regions based on posture, force, and repetition requirements. The scores are then compiled to determine an overall risk level and the need for engineering or process changes to reduce risk. An example application of RULA shows how pre- and post-improvement scores can evaluate the effectiveness of ergonomic interventions.
The REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) is a tool used to evaluate ergonomic risks and postural loads associated with job tasks. It involves scoring different body regions on a worksheet based on observed postures, forces, and movements. Scores are then combined to generate an overall risk level. The evaluator observes workers, selects important postures to evaluate, and assigns scores for regions like the back, shoulders, and legs. Implementing changes to reduce risks, like a new work method, can lower the final REBA score and risk of musculoskeletal disorders.
The document discusses ergonomic risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as force, repetition, and posture. It explains that over time, exposure to these risk factors can lead to MSDs. It provides information on controlling the risk factors through engineering controls that eliminate excessive force requirements, reduce repetition through job rotation, and modify tools and workstations to reduce awkward postures. Work practice controls and individual controls like proper body mechanics and stretch breaks are also recommended.
Safety culture is the number one indicator of successful injury prevention programs, as discussed in a previous blog post.
But what is safety culture and how do you know where yours stacks up?
According to OSHA, ^Safety cultures consist of shared beliefs, practices, and attitudes that exist at an establishment. Culture is the atmosphere created by those beliefs, attitudes, etc., which shape our behavior. ̄
By definition, safety culture is difficult to measure. How do you measure values, attitudes and beliefs?
Following are 25 ways to tell whether or not you have an awesome safety culture. If you can answer yes to most of these, you¨re doing great. Keep it up!
If not, you have some work to do. Don¨t be discouraged, culture change takes time and perseverance.
