Field Worker Ergonomics: Part 1

We know that ergonomics for non-office municipal workers is overwhelming due, in part, to:

• Varied work environments
• Awkward and heavy equipment
• Manual work
• Vehicle limitations
• Non-standard lifting
• Lack of support or input for change
• Lack of communication on discomfort/challenges

As a result, it can be hard to figure out where to start, how to address the issues, and how to build a sustainable program to address these hazards.

That’s where we come in! This customized webinar series has been designed specifically to help address these issues.

In Part 1 of this series, we intend to share qualitative evidence from various municipalities about their main issues in addressing field worker ergonomics including a summary of the challenges and a basic outline of what to look for when conducting an ergonomic review in the field.
