Ergonomics
The word, ergonomics, comes from two Greek words: “ergon” meaning work, and “nomos” meaning laws.
Ergonomics covers all aspects of a job, from physical stresses it places on joints, muscles, nerves, tendons, bones, to environmental factors, which can affect hearing, vision, and general comfort and health.
Course Content Example 2:
Ergonomics
Physical Stressors linked to ergonomic disorders:
- Repetitive Strain Injuries (cumulative trauma disorders) are caused by repetitive motions such as typing, that would not result in undue stress or harm if only performed once.
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Tendonitis
- Tenosynovitis
- Rotator Cuff Injury (shoulder problem)
- Epicondylitis (elbow problem)
- Trigger finer
- Muscle strains and low back injuries
- Many others
Course Content Example 3:
Environmental Factors
- Indoor Air Quality
- "Sick building syndrome" with accompanying headaches, congestion, fatigue and rashes can result from poor air quality in buildings or office
- Excessive Noise
- Around heavy machinery or equipment can cause permanent hearing loss
- Improper Lighting
- Eyestrain and headaches, especially in conjunction with a computer monitor
