The occurrence of Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs) and Repetitive Motion Injuries (RMIs) is increasing at an alarming rate, dramatically affecting today's workforce. The symptoms of these disorders develop slowly over a period of time. Workers tend to ignore the discomfort, thinking it will resolve itself, but too often, it does not. Eventually, productivity decreases due to pain and loss of function, and a previously productive worker may suddenly find that they are now unable to work as a result of their disability. While this scenario is discouraging, it is also preventable. Ergonomics - matching the work environment to the worker's abilities and limitations - is a promising method to control, manage, and reduce the risk of CTDs and RMIs in the workplace. Your Guide to Developing an Ergonomics Process was written to assist you in the process of reducing workplace injuries and illnesses related to cumulative trauma disorders and poor ergonomics. This valuable guide presents all aspects of a comprehensive ergonomics process. The program detailed in the text is designed for full participation at all levels of the organization, regardless of your experience in ergonomics.
