Each year 1.8 million workers in the US report
work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs)
such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendonitis, and
back injuries. MSDs result when the physical
demands of the job exceed the physical capacity
of the worker. Workers suffering from MSDs may
experience decreased range of motion, deformity,
decreased grip strength, and loss of muscle
function. Workers may also have physical
symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling,
burning, cramping, and stiffness. |
The solution to the prevention of these injuries
lies with ergonomics. Ergonomics, the science of
fitting jobs to workers, uses information about
human abilities, attributes, and limitations to
ensure that equipment, work practices, and
workplaces allow for variation among workers.
Statistics indicate that a comprehensive ergonomic
program will lower costs and increase productivity. For
example:
-
34% of all workers' compensation costs are related to
ergonomics injuries
-
25 days is the median number of lost workdays due to
carpal tunnel syndrome
-
42% of carpal tunnel syndrome cases result in more than
30 days away from work
-
62% of all tendonitis lost workday cases are suffered by
women
-
70% of all carpal tunnel syndrome lost workday cases
occur with women
-
$22,500 is the average amount of direct costs (workers'
compensation payments and medical costs) to be saved
by avoiding a repetitive motion injury
According to OSHA, fewer than 1 in 3 general industry
employers have an effective ergonomic program in place
today.

How do
you determine whether workers in a job, work group,
plant or company have symptoms of repetitive motion
injuries? Similarly, how do you determine whether the
workers are likely to develop musculoskeletal disorders
