Ergonomics is fitting the work to the worker Exposure to more than one risk factor increases the chances of experiencing discomfort. Ergonomics is about “fit”. The fit between a person and what they do, the objects they use and the environments in which they work. If good fit is achieved, the stresses on people are reduced. They become comfortable, can do things efficiently and productively without discomfort.

An ergonomic evaluator will look for specific risk factors that may indicate a “poor” fit, and then make recommendations to reduce these risks which without resolution, could lead to a musculoskeletal/cumulative trauma disorder<br>

What are musculoskeletal/cumulative trauma disorders? A musculoskeletal disorder is discomfort of the muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints or nerves which could include strain, sprain or inflammation which typically accumulates over time. They are NOT a diagnosis, but a class of disorders with similar characteristics. Microtrauma experienced by the body on a daily basis can heal over time. But if we experience more trauma than the natural healing process can absorb, the result is a MSD/CT injury<br>
