Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) and Ergonomic Training

Why Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) Matters

Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA), which can only be conducted by a certified Ergonomic Trained Person (ETP), plays a critical role in workplace safety. ERA helps identify ergonomic risk factors that may harm employees, determines the likelihood of harm from exposure, and recommends effective control measures to reduce risk.

At Masma Safety, our ETPs are equipped with the expertise and tools to conduct systematic assessments that protect employees’ health and prevent long-term injuries.

Ergonomic Training at the Workplace - Masma Safety

The Value of Ergonomic Training

Alongside ERA, Ergonomic Training at the Workplace ensures that the employees understand the importance of good ergonomics and how to apply it in their daily tasks

With proper ergonomic training, workers benefit from safer working conditions, while employers gain a highly skilled workforce and a competitive advantage in productivity and efficiency

Ergonomic training not only reduces workplace injuries but also enhances job retention, lowers absenteeism, and improves overall morale.

We will also provide you with a thorough report of the ergonomic risk assessment, together with suggestions for improvement that can be taken as steps to maintain a safe and healthy work environment for your employees.

Key Ergonomic Risk Factors in the Workplace

During an Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA), our ETPs identify and evaluate the following common risk factors:

1. Awkward postures such as twisting, bending, or over-reaching

2. Static postures from prolonged standing or sitting

3. Forceful exertions during lifting, pushing, or pulling tasks

4. Repetitive motions that strain joints and muscles

5. Vibration exposure from tools or machines

6. Contact stress from equipment pressing on the body

7. Environmental stressors such as poor lighting, heat, or noise
