For a User-Friendly Workplace

The goal of this lesson is to create a more ergonomic worksite

 After this lesson, participants be able to define “ergonomics”, and will be able to provide examples of both ergonomic and non-ergonomic work practices  Participants will have the knowledge necessary to make their own workspace more ergonomic.  Participants will know early symptoms of work- related musculoskeletal injuries, and be aware of the benefits of seeking early treatment.

 Ergonomics is the study of the way workers interact with and fit into their work environment. The goal of a successful ergonomic program is to modify the workers’ environment to better suit their physical needs.

 OSHA has developed ergonomic standards designed to reduce the occurrence of workplace-related musculoskeletal disorders, such as back injuries or tendonitis. OSHA’s recommendations can be found on their website. 

 Think of ergonomic problems specific to your workplace  List your ideas on a whiteboard or flip chart  One by one, discuss these problems. As a group, try to think of solutions.

 Ergonomic changes can be very easy to make, and making them is the responsibility of everyone in the workplace.  Visit the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website for ideas on improving your workplace.

 On your pledge cards, write one ergonomic concern you encounter in your workspace.  Use the ideas generated in the group discussion to write the steps you can take to address that concern.  Pledge to take those steps within the month. Pin the card up in your workspace to remind you!
