Ergonomic Evaluation

Ergonomic Evaluation is a work station or task evaluation designed to measure a job’s potential for injury or fatigue. The evaluation is based on the applied science of ergonomics, which maximizes productivity by designing equipment and workflow to reduce operator fatigue and discomfort. Standardized risk assessment tools are used to quantify risk. The evaluation takes place in both industrial and office settings.

Effective injury prevention programs are based on employer/employee education and a sound ergonomic evaluation program. Successful programs work within production goals of the facility while guarding the safety and well-being of the worker.
