Ergonomics and risk assessment as one workflow

Learn worker fit, hazard identification, risk decisions, and improvements as a practical sequence.

01

Find the mismatch

Posture, repetition, load, visibility, and control placement create risk when they exceed human capability. First identify what does not fit the worker.

02

Respect the assessment sequence

Use preparation, hazard identification, risk evaluation, reduction measures, implementation, and records as the organizing flow.

03

Move controls toward the source

Consider elimination and substitution first, then engineering and administrative measures, and finally personal protective equipment.
