Chapter 5 - Education and Training
The goal of
ergonomics in the workplace is to prevent work-related injuries and
illnesses, or WMSDs, by reducing or eliminating worker exposures to
occupational hazards. An informed and properly trained workforce reduces
the number of workers developing WMSDs, reduces workers’ compensation
costs, and improves productivity, quality of work, safety, and worker
satisfaction.
