Ergonomics is designing a job to fit the worker so the work is safer and more efficient. Implementing ergonomic solutions can make employees more comfortable and increase productivity. Ergonomics is important at VASDHS because when you're doing a job and your body is stressed by an awkward posture, extreme temperature, or repeated movement your musculoskeletal system is affected. Your body may begin to have symptoms such as fatigue, discomfort, and pain, which can be the first signs of a musculoskeletal disorder. Increased savings from ergonomics include: fewer injuries, more productive and sustainable employees, and fewer workers' compensation claims. VASDHS does not have an ergonomist in its staff and for many years has relied on the support from contractors. This support is critical in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders. 3.Scope.
