| Increased production and improved quality are a direct result of
well-designed jobs. Workers think and move more efficiently and injury
risk and errors are minimized through ergonomic design. |
 |
| Back, cumulative trauma and overexertion injuries don't have to
be accepted as the cost of doing business. Ergonomics balances the
job demands and workers' tolerance, thereby reducing injuries and
illnesses. |
 |
| Worker performance can be optimized through ergonomic changes which
reduce rework and waste. Less fatigue allows for many more productive
days. A safe and effective workplace also improves employee morale
and reduces turnover and absenteeism. |
 |
| Ergonomic design criteria are based on science. By learning and
applying basic principles, many improvements can be made to your work
environment. |
 |
| Workplaces are constantly changing. Continued cost savings result
from applying ergonomics to new designs and addressing issues that
arise when changes in the work environment occur. |
 |
| Ergonomics decreases operating costs. Quality and productivity are
improved through efficient work methods, reduced rework and waste.
Good design enhances job satisfaction and limits workers' compensation
claims, absenteeism and turnover. |
