Frequently Asked Questions
It targets repetitive injuries associated with hand and wrist movements specifically, rather than musculoskeletal disorders in general.
It recommends rearranging workstations and modifying task orders as the two main levers for eliminating or reducing repetitive strain.
It's built around proactive hazard identification, encouraging learners to spot and eliminate a risk before it causes an injury, not after.
The course frames ergonomic principles as the mechanism for hazard prevention, connecting how a task is ordered to whether it causes strain.
Modifying task order aims to reduce strain while enhancing overall efficiency, treating comfort and output as connected, not competing goals.
