In industrial environments, it’s important to take the time to properly assess the workplace for musculoskeletal disorder (MSDs) risks which can lead to sprains, strains, and other soft tissue injuries. While nothing beats the accuracy of performing a quantitative assessment using VelocityEHS Industrial Ergonomics, our ergonomists created a simple observation-based list of easily identifiable, common risks you can (and should) always keep an eye out for.
The 10 movements or postures that our ergonomists call the “Ergonomics Hit List,” can directly contribute to the development of MSDs and should be fixed immediately.
This Ergonomics Hit List is a foundational resource for the most problematic movements that contribute to the development of musculoskeletal disorders, which are noticeable without any special tools or technology. But it’s important to note that leveraging technology allows you to measure and prioritize MSD risk, make appropriate changes that address the root causes, and verify and track improvements.
Discover what VelocityEHS Ergonomics can do for your organization with its powerful combination of interactive online training, AI-driven assessment tools, embedded expertise to help identify and control root causes, and an innovative ergonomics management database. Your organization will have everything necessary to deploy, monitor, and manage a sustainable ergonomics process, from one to hundreds of locations.
