Inside this issue...
- You’re legally obliged to adopt ergonomics
Dear reader,
Ergonomics is about fitting job functions to the physical capabilities of your employees. But did you know you’re legally obliged to implement the practice in your workplace?
You’re legally obliged to adopt ergonomics
1. You’re obliged to ensure the health and safety of employees using plant and machinery, and anyone else against hazards to health and safety resulting from their work.
5 areas where most hazards to employees are likely to occur
• Chemical
• Biological
• Ergonomic
• Noise
• Radiation
For your other two legal obligations, look out for your Health and Safety Update 5, which will be on its way to you in September. If you haven’t already subscribed to the Health and Safety Advisor Handbook, you’ll miss out on this vital information. Don’t let this happen to you…
In the name of safety,
