Ergonomics

Ergonomic Programs utilize assorted techniques to identify, analyze, and control work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders and Injuries.

Research the following ergonomic assessment tools:

• NIOSH Lifting Equations
• Snook Tables
• Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA)
• Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA)
• Vibration Meter

Prepare a presentation report that covers the following information:

• Describe the tool  - visuals would be appropriate on the slide, with full description in the notes.
• Identify applications or research environments where this tool is used, and summarize where this piece of equipment or software would be beneficial to an ergonomic setting.
• Research and describe where this tool was used in research to benefit and organization or specific work process.
• Summarize how to use this tool.

Less is more on the PowerPoint slide.  Your slide should contain talking points, your notes should be full of your wonderful thoughts!

Please include a cover-slide, and a reference slide.
