Ergonomics – Caution/Hazard Zone from Washington OSHA
An innovative method of performing an ergonomic analysis. Each task has a small photo so the person who is doing the analysis understands what the issue is. Also accounts for repetition, posture, time, etc. The forms are divided between ‘Caution Zone’ and ‘Hazard Zone.’ Even the novice can use these effectively. Great program.
Both Word format, and PDF. Download now. Do it.
