WHAT is Ergonomic Training & Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA)

Why Ergonomic Training Matters

Ergonomic training equips employees with essential knowledge about ergonomic risk factors and how to prevent musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Through this training, employees learn proper working postures, lifting techniques and other ergonomic practices that can be applied in their daily tasks to reduce the risk of injury.

What is Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA)?

An Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) helps identify health issues in the workplace by objectively evaluating ergonomic risk factors. This process allows employers to implement targeted improvements to enhance workplace safety and employee well-being.

Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) and Ergonomic Training in the Workplace

Did You Know?

A significant number of occupational diseases reported to the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) are linked to ergonomic risk factors. These conditions can reduce productivity, increase compensation and medical costs and lead to higher absenteeism. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) caused by poor ergonomics result in costly treatments, frequent medical leave and a slower work pace. Implementing ERA helps employers address these challenges effectively.
