Essential Elements for an Effective Ergonomics Program
Presented by: Peter Budnick, PhD, CPE
5 Essential Elements of an EffectiveErgonomics Process
Typical Process Path
• Identify potential issues• Assess the Risk• Apply Improvements to Control the Risk
Design Standards should address things like:
• Manual force requirements• Work heights• Reach distances• Hand tool design factors• Hand and body clearances
• Corporate Ergonomics Process Leader
• Coordinate development and deployment of methods, guidelines, training
• Monitor effectiveness, communicate key metrics to leadership
• Share best practices
• Continuously improve the process
• Site Ergonomics Process Leader• Develop and deploy metrics for site ergonomics
activities• Coordinate ergonomics trainings and meetings• Ensure ergonomics roles and responsibilities are
fulfilled at the site• Report progress of the ergonomics plan to site
leadership• Continuously Improve site process
Examples of Other Important Roles
Where Does Your Process Stand?
