Field Worker Ergonomics: Part 2
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 2 of this series, we will present 5 common action items that municipalities are tackling to start addressing ergonomic issues in the field and practical steps you can use to start taking action in this area:
- Identifying high risk jobs/tasks
- Utilizing ergonomic checklists
- Customizing lifting programs
- Developing purchasing standards
- Educating on the ergonomics of driving
Join us to gain great, practical ideas on where to start and ideas for sustainable program improvement!
