Question 1: Main domains covered when designing an ergonomic safety programme
(10)
An ergonomic safety programme is not a single intervention but a structured process built
from several interdependent domains. Drawing on the framework used by OSHA and
NIOSH for workplace ergonomics processes, the main domains that must be covered are
as follows (Bahr, 2015).
Management commitment and leadership. Senior management must set clear goals and
objectives for the programme, allocate resources, assign responsibility to designated staff,
and communicate the programme's importance to the workforce. Without visible leadership
support, ergonomic interventions rarely survive beyond the pilot stage.
Worker involvement and participation. Employees who perform the tasks are best placed to
identify awkward postures, repetitive movements and other risk factors. A participatory
approach, in which workers help assess workstations and develop solutions, both improves
the quality of the intervention and increases buy-in (Bahr, 2015).
Worksite (job/task) analysis. This domain involves systematically evaluating jobs, tasks,
tools, equipment and workstation layouts against recognised ergonomic design standards
to identify risk factors such as awkward posture, force, repetition and vibration before they
cause harm.
Hazard identification, prevention and control. Once risk factors are identified, the programme
must apply the hazard control hierarchy; engineering controls (redesigning tools,
workstations or processes), administrative controls (job rotation, rest breaks) and, where
necessary, personal protective equipment; to eliminate or reduce exposure.
Training and education. Managers, supervisors and workers all need training appropriate to
their role: recognising musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk factors, understanding the
programme, using new equipment correctly and reporting symptoms early.
Health/medical management and early reporting. A mechanism for workers to report MSD
symptoms early, coupled with appropriate case management and (where relevant) liaison
with occupational health practitioners, prevents minor discomfort from developing into a
disabling injury.
