Aim
Ergonomics can help identify risk factors that can cause injury. Workers in many occupations are exposed to risk factors at work such as bending, lifting heavy items, reaching overhead, pushing and pulling heavy objects, working in awkward postures, and performing the same tasks repetitively. Flow ergonomics will assist in creating healthy, safe, and productive work environments.
