Ergonomics

Download CAL-OSHA Guidelines

What:

Ergonomics is the applied science of designing and arranging equipment, and access to equipment and facilities allowing people to interact with them safely and efficiently. When applied correctly, creating a more ergonomic environment for workers will provide a significant return on investment due to increased efficiencies, productivity, space savings and indirect labor costs such as training, temporary labor and possible litigation.

Where:

Ergonomic efficiencies should be looked at in all areas including manufacturing, distribution and warehousing.

Why:

The investment in ergonomics will often have a dramatic ROI if implemented correctly. Reduced labor costs and increased productivity allows organizations to increase profit generating activities rather than focusing on overhead costs.
