- W4282000520 abstract "This chapter outlines specific ergonomic hazards found in the workplace, tools and methods to assess the level of risk of these hazards and examples of control measures commonly used to reduce risks. Specific factors that should be considered in the design of jobs to reduce physical and mental hazards are discussed as part of the Ergonomics Onion model. These include person / employee characteristics, the tasks that are performed in the workplace (physical and cognitive), equipment and machines used, workspace in which the tasks are carried out, physical environment such as temperature and lighting and organisational factors such as shift work and working hours. Reference is made of the relevant legislation such as the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 (as amended). Common ergonomic risk factors that may contribute to the development of musculoskeletal disorders are discussed in greater detail. These include lifting and handling, posture and repetitive work. Each risk factor outlines job design hazards that may result in, or aggravate underlying, musculoskeletal disorders. In addition readers are directed to commonly used ergonomic analysis tools that allows them to assess workplace risks in greater detail. These tools also help to direct decision making on interventions to reduce workplace ergonomic hazards. Risk controls that are commonly used to reduce exposure are also discussed. The chapter ends with a brief discussion on mechanical workplace hazards of machines. Types of hazards, items to consider when risk assessing and common risk controls are included." @default.
