OHSAS 18001 - Ergonomics in OHSAS implementation

[sathis]

We had exposure to ergonomics in OHSAS implementation
I had attached a PPT file showing the ergonomics while working in
computer.

Does any one has similar experience?

Ergonomics and OHSAS 18001 are not synonimous. Ergonomics relates to the adaptation of the workplace to the employee along with the management of hazards that can result in RSI's, RMI's or whatever the flavor of the week anacronym suits you, and the varying factors involved as well.

What's your point?

BTW...Ergonomics isn't new and unique and it involves elements of Human Factors Engineering.

He's just asking if anyone else is involved in ergonomics and wanting to share experiences, it sounds like to me. You might want to re-read sathis's post.

What other kinds of things are you doing to help make the work environment better?

The post was more than 3 years ago..............

The answer to his question would have been "Yes, I have experience, I have done it and I have taught it and my suggestion would have been unless you really know what you're doing get some hands on help".

Since the original posting I think we have discussed human factors engineering and ergonomics in other threads including some helpful attachments.

It looks like the new Poster, ajikkn08, is 3 years behind the power curve in his response

Old threads pop up from time to time as someone is browsing and doesn't notice the date, or for other reasons, sometimes for good, other times not so much.

Friends,

Posts are like wine, some age well, some don't.

I think the new Poster is just making a statement
