general soreness and fatigue of the lower back

pain is usually constant and it accompanies most activities

binding, squeezing or shrinking blood vessels so that circulation in reduced

compressuon of the ulnar nerve as it passes through the notch of the elbow

injuries and illness that generally occur as a result of exposure to repeated stresses over a period of time

wear and tear of the discs that separates the vertebrae of the spine

inflammation if the ten and its shearh at the base of the thumb

an inflammatiin of the tendons at the elbow, also called tennis elbow or golfer's elbow

swelling of the tendon sheath due to the buildup of synovial fluid inside the sheath

the lower back and the hamstring muscle in the back of our thighs are where commonly occur

an overextending or tearing of muscle or tendons

the ankle is the most common location

an overextending or tearing of ligaments

inflammation if ine or more tendons at the shoulder also called pitcher shoulder

causes of elbow pain

symptoms of raynauds syndrome

also called as white finger

a constriction if a blood vessels in the hands and fingers

osteoarthritis also called as

most common type of arthritis

general soreness and fatigue of the lower back

the cyst usually cause a bump under the skin

OSHA

in the greater population this will include equipment, services and structures designed to meet the rising needs of the elderly population

seeks to build healthy, comfotwble and efficient workspace by integrating human capabilities and disabilities

ergonomics is critical when you consider how much people differ in terms of

will help you to define features you should take into account

to decide the correcf size, form, shape of a product to make it easier for people to use, ergonomics uses

its goal is to enhance the protection, comfort and productivity of a product or an environment such as office

is important part of research

objectuves if human engineering

indirect benefits of an economic program on cost

indirect benefits of an economic program in productivity

direct benefits of an ergonomic program

are to protect and guard against liability for workers and properties

tries to improve the things people use and the atmosphere in which they use things to better match peoples skills constraints need

focuses in human beings and their relationship with workplace goods, equipment and environments

the field of human factors ca be seen to have 4 main goals

input from many backgrounds eg designers, engineers, psychologist, managers can cause himan factors

it focuses primarily on understanding human capacities and the applying this knowledge to the deisign of equipment

are the science of individuals at work

is a science that deals with application of physical and psychological characteristics knowledge to the design of human servuces and system

also called ergonomics or human engineering

create a harmonious flow and enhances overall productivity in the kitchen

this minimises unnecessary movement and increases efficienct reducing the rise of accidents caused by collisions or trips

consisting of the sink refregirator and cooking area

is the central to the kitchen design

is a critical consideration in kitchen design

is particularly important in areas where water is frequently present such as near the sink or diswasher

such as textured tiles or slip resistant surfaces to minimise the risk of slipping and falling

reduces the chances of accidents and injuries, enhance visibility during food preparation

essential for both safety and functionality in the kitchen

it also prevents excess hear and humidity making the kitchen a more comfortable soace to work in

helps prevent the build up of harmful gases, such as carbon monoxide

a key aspecr of kitchen safety

ergonomics design for safe and functional kitchen

is a common problem in the workplace that can affect a workers comfort level and performance

turning pale and ashen

the signs and symptoms include numbness, pain and blanching

had adverse circulatory and neural effects in the fingers

HAVS

can cause a range of conditions collectively knowns as HAVS

which can inhibit bloodd, nerve function or movement of tendons and muscles

this contact creates localized pressure for a small area of the body

results from continuous contact or rubbing between hard or sharp objects

control methods in escessive motions

a job is considered highly repetitive if the cycle time is

is another one of the primart ergonomic risk factors

increasis in response to high force requirements which increases fatigue and risk of an MSD

one of the primary ergonomic risk factors

is a great wat to prepare your body for work

reduces fatigue, improves muscular balance and posture and improves muscle coordination

which reduces msd risk factors and allows more efficieny and pain free work

ensure that you are working from proper heights and reaches

this zone is where the arms and back can lift the most with the least amount of effort

the power zone for lifting is

is contributing risk factor for MSDs

this put more sttess on the workers musculoskeletal system

MSDs

move away from the neutral posture toward the extremes in range of motion

opposite of neutral posture

minimize the stress applied to muscle, tendons, nerves and bones and allows for maximum control and force production

are postures where body is aligned and balanced while either sitting or standing

a common term for tendonitis or tenosynovitis that causes painful locking of the fingers while flexing

inflammation of tendon

studies mental processess and how people interact with products system and environments

factors related to ergonomics

is used to adjust such systems so as to provide user of the device with maximum job satisfaction

system where in relation to one or more computers, devuces or facilties

way to make work easier

is way to make jobs/task fit the employees better

is the science and the art of fitting the job and the workplace

is a scientific discipline concerned with fhe understanding of interactions

cotact of the body with the hard surface or edge that results in the compression of tissue

an aspect of a job that increases the workers chance of getting a work related musculoskeletal disorder

the blood flow to the muscles is reduced
