Within any industrial organisation, it is essential to have a strong understanding of ergonomics. Ergonomics is the process of increasing employee safety by making adjustments to the industry processes and equipment. Many organisations who are highly successful in ergonomics often follow the concept of ‘matching the job to the worker.’
To truly increase employee safety, the organisation would first need to identify all potential risks and hazards. These can be related to the nature of the job itself, the equipment used and more. Once these risks have been identified, then 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 themselves. There are many internal influences that can dictate how they carry out their roles, and employees who are stressed or overly tired may be more at risk of making a mistake. As the employer, it is the organisation's responsibility to provide adequate facilities so employees can eat, rest and relax as necessary.
