It is essential to have a strong understanding of ergonomics within any industrial organisation. Ergonomics is the process of increasing employee safety by making adjustments to industry processes and equipment. Many highly successful organisations in ergonomics often follow the concept of ‘matching the job to the worker.’
To truly increase employee safety, the organisation must first identify all potential risks and hazards. These can relate to the nature of the job itself, the equipment used, and more. Once these risks have been identified, the organisation should create a risk management plan to highlight preventive measures to reduce the chance of risks occurring.
Furthermore, an effective method of increasing ergonomics is focusing on the employees. Many internal influences can dictate how they carry out their roles, and stressed or overly tired employees may be more likely to make a mistake. As the employer, the organisation must provide adequate facilities so employees can eat, rest, and relax as necessary.
