Modern Definition Science of fitting workplace conditions and job demands to the capabilities of the working populationWhat Is Ergonomics?: What Is Ergonomics? Ergon – work Nomos – laws of Ergonomics is the laws of work that define the limits to human capability.What Is Ergonomics?: What Is Ergonomics? Ergonomics is the science of improving employee performance and well-being in relation to the job tasks, equipment, and the environment. Ergonomics is… a continuous improvement effort to design the workplace for what people do well, and design against what people don’t do well.What Is Ergonomics?: What Is Ergonomics? Ergonomics is fitting the job to the person.Applying Ergonomics: Applying Ergonomics Study, research, & experimentation Evaluate human traits/characteristics we need to know for engineering design Application & engineering Design tools, machines, shelter, environment, work tasks, and job procedures to fit and accommodate the human Ergonomics: Ergonomics Human Machine Work Environment Utmost Goal: “Humanization” of Work Design with “E & E”: Ease and Efficiency The Basics of Ergonomics: The Basics of ErgonomicsSlide16: INDUSTRIAL ATHLETE SKILL WILL COACHING GREAT EQUIPMENT Applications of Ergonomics: Applications of Ergonomics Anatomy Orthopedics Physiology Medicine Psychology Sociology Industrial Engineering Bio-Engineering Systems Engineering Safety Engineering Military Engineering Computer-Aided Design Anthropometry Biomechanics Work Physiology Industrial Hygiene Management Labor Relations Occupational Ergonomics: Occupational Ergonomics Optimize worker well-being Optimize productivity Minimize workplace stress factors Minimize medical/workers’ compensation costs Increase Company ProfitabilityOccupational Factors Affecting The Worker……..: Occupational Factors Affecting The Worker……..

Scope of the problem: Scope of the problem Bureau of Labor & Statistics (BLS), 2002 Total cases of non-fatal injuries and illnesses 4,700,600 1,436,194 Cases Involved Days Away From WorkMore about the injuries……: More about the injuries…… Carpal tunnel syndrome cases had more median days away from work (30) than either fractures (29) or amputations (26) Source: BLS 2002Musculoskeletal Disorders: Musculoskeletal Disorders Total musculoskeletal disorders 487.9 9 (1,000’s) Occupations Number Median Days AFW Nursing aides, orderlies, and attendants 44.4 6 Truck drivers 36.8 12 Laborers, nonconstruction 24.9 8 Janitors and cleaners 15.2 7 Assemblers 15.2 14 Construction laborers 11.1 10 Registered nurses 10.8 6 Supervisors and proprietors, sales occupations 9.9 7 Cashiers 9.3 8 Stock handlers and baggers 8.8 5 Sales workers, other commodities 7.8 7 Slide53: Sprains, strains, and tears accounted for over 75.8% of the musculoskeletal disorders that resulted in days away from work in 2002. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome accounted for over 4.6% of the musculoskeletal disorders that resulted in days away from work in 2002. More about the injuries……Slide54: A majority of injured or ill workers were 20 to 44 years old Workers 20 to 44 had a higher incidence of injuries or illnesses, while workers 45 and older had a lower incidence of injuries or illnesses than each of their hours worked shares suggest More about the injuries……Slide55: Two-thirds of the injured or ill workers were men, well above their 59 percent share of the nation’s hours worked. Most workers (37.2%) had at least 1 to 5 years of service with their employer when they were injured or became ill.
