ERGONOMICS

Injuries caused by strain and overuse are also called ergonomic injuries. The study of what a job does to the muscles, joints, tendons, and other soft parts of the body is called "ergonomics".

Ergonomics is also the study of howto prevent injuries by designing work and equipment that does not push workers beyond their limit.

Ergonomics proves what most workers know a;ready: each person's body is different and has its own limits. When the limits are not respected, people get hurt. So, listen to the body wisdom is most important. The workers themselves  must know their limits by respect the body complain such as a pain, weakness, tingle or swollen. Early detection can prevent further damage to your body.

Example

For the back pain is easy and able to overcome the problem since muscle imbalance just developed but when dysfunction start to develop the rehabilitation process need longer periods.

Many job tasks are easy and harmless if you only do them afew times at a comfortable pace. But the same tasks can be dangerous when you:

• repeat the same movement over and over again
• work in an uncomfortable position for a long time
• stay in the same position for a long time
• use too much force with any part of the body
• feel pressure on any part of body from a hard object, such as a tool handle or table edge
• feel vibration from a tool, machine or vehicle
• work in a place that is very hot or very cold

All of these dangers are made worse by working for long hours without rest.

What you think?

Why do some workers deny their work causes pain?
Why do some woerkers except pain as a normal part of work?
Why do some worker do not listen to their body complain?
