The human factor - Update on OSHA's ambitious ergonomic undertaking Author: Jane Sleeth, Canadian Occupational Safety magazine
Ergonomics is not a science in the way that occupational hygiene is. We are not at a point where we can state that 'so many parts per million of exposure to a hazard will result in a specific injury or illness.' In my experience and opinion, the best and most effective route is to work closely with compensation boards, employers and unions as well as consultants and research experts to provide employers and unions with appropriate and well researched guidelines. Of course, the very best method still seems to be educating employers about the cost savings associated with good design and the application of these guidelines at all points in the process. This always motivates employers to move forward in the development of ergonomic processes and design which positively impact all stakeholders. After all, money talks.------------------------------------------- posted 6:58 AM :: reference link ::
