What are ergonomic risks?
Ergonomic risks are defined as those hazardous situations, linked to the performance of a task or the working environment, which may give rise to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in workers.
Risk Factors than can cause harm include:
1.- Lack of ergonomics
Adoptar malas posturas, especialmente si son sostenidas en el tiempo.
2.- Muscular injuries
Empujar, arrastrar, sujetar…
3.- Occupational Absenteeism
Repetir un movimiento durante un largo período de tiempo con un mismo grupo muscular.
Levantar y sujetar manualmente objetos que pesen más de 3 Kg y/o que sean muy voluminosos.
What are the consequences for the company if ergonomic risks are not addressed?
A lack of ergonomics in the workplace can cause muscular injuries, preventing workers from performing their tasks. Work-related absenteeism caused by poor ergonomics accounts for around 45% of all sick leave cases.
How can ergonomic risks be identified?
Absenteeism caused by musculoskeletal disorders is a clear indicator of the presence of ergonomic risks that are not being adequately controlled.
