摘要

Occupational ergonomics is the science of improving employee performance and well-being in relation to job tasks, equipment and work environment. It is a continuous effort to design the workplace for what people do well, and design against what people do not do well, thereby fitting the job to the person and enhancing human performance and preventing work-related muscu-loskeletal disorders (WMSDs). The goals of ergonomics are simple and straightforward. The need to operate a machine within a specified set of limits is common sense: 1. If a user operates a machine within the limits of its design, s/he will achieve optimal productivity. 2. If a user consistently operates a machine outside of its limits, the machine will become unreliable and eventually break down. A similar logic can be applied to people. Because the ergonomics discipline provides formal definitions of the cognitive, physiological and biome-chanical capacities of the human, we can apply the information to optimize productivity while avoiding WMSDs through workplace design: If task demands and the work environment are designed to accommodate a person's biological capacity, that person will achieve optimal human productivity and minimum error. If task demands require a person to operate continuously outside of his/her capacity, the human will perform the work unreliably and eventually break down. WMSDs hazards have been well documented by NIOSH and the National Academy of Sciences. Despite ongoing political rhetoric, sufficient scientific research is available to identify ergonomic risks and measure exposures. The difficulty is in identifying effective countermeasures once hazard exposures have been pinpointed. Following are five solution strategies for identifying effective improvements once ergonomic challenges have been identified and evaluations have been completed.
