What is the Ergonomics safe work practice?
Strains and sprains are the most common lost-time injuries in Canada. A program for this hazard assesses lifting and repetitive tasks, sets limits and techniques, and puts mechanical aids first.
A safe work practice is the written "how we do this job safely" for one task or piece of equipment. This one is written for ergonomics and is ready for your company name, so crews, supervisors and clients all read the same rules.
Who needs it: Every contractor whose workers lift, carry, push or repeat the same motion.
