PT Murni, Jakarta — Excessive focus on the production process leads industrial companies to overlook worker health and well-being.
Poor working conditions are a significant concern, especially when it comes to the safety and comfort of industrial workers.
Did you know that injuries caused by overexertion like lifting, pushing, and pulling, can significantly cost companies up to 13 billion USD annually?
Hence, ensuring a proper work environment for industrial workers is the key, and ergonomic workstations make it possible.
Why Ergonomics Matters for Industrial Workers
Imagine handling heavy loads with bad posture on a tight schedule every day which can harm the safety, comfort, and health of industrial workers – leading to lower productivity and work quality.
Industrial ergonomics helps create a safer, more comfortable, and efficient workspace. It reduces the risks of pain, injuries, musculoskeletal disorders (MSD), and extreme fatigue, while improving overall worker safety.
Furthermore, ergonomic workstation design contributes to better mobility, productivity, and long-term comfort — leading to more efficient work and higher-quality results.
Your Guide to Creating an Ergonomic Workstation
What is the most effective approach to designing an industrial workstation? First, analyze the specific tasks carried out at that station.
Identify the areas that require improvement and changes, then design the best solutions using ergonomic equipment. Here are a few tips to consider:
- Adjusting Your Workstation Layout
- Set up an ergonomic workstation by placing the monitor at eye level to reduce pain and keep user’s head and neck in a natural position.
- Keep essential tools and devices, like keyboard and mouse, within easy reach to avoid stretching or awkward movements.
- Adjust the height to fit the user’s body dimensions to help them work comfortably and avoid hunching or stretching – this can prevents musculoskeletal issues while boosting productivity.
Proper workstation setup can reduce bending and other repetitive movements – which helps minimize strain, stress, and discomfort at work.
A well-organized workspace with ergonomic workstations promotes better posture and reduces fatigue, helping workers perform at their best – optimize your workstation by adding adjustable items like desks, chairs, tiltable keyboard, mouse trays, and footrests.
- Organizing Your Storage Area
Keep tools and materials at the workstation easily accessible and within reach — consider using additional trays or holders.
- Utilizing Flexible Devices
Ensure the equipment at the workstation is easily adjustable — install, remove, lift, tilt, or rotate as needed.
