Ergonomics is the science of fitting the work task to the user. It
seeks to prevent serious injury by considering designs that
accommodate the abilities and limitations of people. Many workers
perform tasks that involve exposure to ergonomic risk factors.
Musculoskeletal disorders resulting from such exposure account for
one-third of all occupational injuries and illnesses reported to
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Exposures to risk factors can
lead to the development of permanent, disabling injuries, and
illnesses that may prevent workers from returning to their jobs and
performing simple tasks that are part of their everyday routine.
Reducing and eliminating risk factors will lead to healthier
employees. The overall objective of Ergonomics and Risk Factor
Awareness Training is to help reduce injuries and illnesses
resulting from exposures to risk factors. This training is designed
specifically for the mining industry and should increase awareness
of risk factors and encourage miners to take action to report and
reduce their exposures to risk factors. This training package
includes two components: Ergonomics and Risk Factor Awareness
Training for Instructors - designed to give instructors sufficient
information about ergonomics and risk factors to allow them to
adequately present similar training to employees.
