Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- Ergonomics is the science of designing and arranging the physical environment, equipment and organization of work to most safely and effectively fit the human body of the worker. Injuries resulting from poor ergonomics—known as work-related musculoskeletal disorders—account for more than one-third of all on-the-job injuries, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. And, these injuries pack a financial punch, with U.S. employers footing a bill that exceeds $65 billion in direct and indirect costs from workers' compensation fees, lost productivity, recruiting, absenteeism, litigation and even human error. Most employers recognize the costs associated with ergonomics injuries and understand that having a comprehensive ergonomics program can help improve their bottom line. But to be most effective, it's necessary for employers to devote adequate resources to addressing ergonomics issues, and designate personnel with the appropriate expertise and training to develop, implement and manage ergonomics programs in the workplace.
