Poor ergonomics is one of the leading causes of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) — and a growing compliance focus. In line with DOSH’s Guidelines on Ergonomics Risk Assessment at the Workplace, employers are expected to identify and control ergonomic risks. MASTAC provides Initial (IERA) and Advanced (AERA) ergonomic risk assessment support to help you find and fix ergonomic hazards before they cause injury.
Regulatory context
DOSH’s Guidelines on Ergonomics Risk Assessment (ERA) at the Workplace, under Section 15 of OSHA 1994, expect employers to identify and control ergonomic risks that cause work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs).
