Hierarchy of ergonomics
Elimination
Where possible, it is always best to eliminate any possible hazards.
Engineering Controls
The goal of engineering controls is to improve the fit between the demands of work tasks and the capabilities of your workers in a safe way.
Administrative controls
Administrative improvements, such as job rotation or alternating, can help reduce workers’ exposures to risk factors by limiting the amount of time workers spend on “problem jobs”.
Training
Training alone is not an ergonomic improvement. Instead, it should be used together with any workplace changes made. Workers need training and hands-on practice with new tools, equipment, or work practices to make sure they have the skills necessary to work safely.
