Ergonomic training and Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) - Masma Safety
Ergonomic training is important for employees to learn about ergonomic risk factors and MSD (musculoskeletal disorder) preventive action as well as learning proper working posture and lifting techniques that can be used in their daily working tasks.
Ergonomic risk assessment (ERA) may identify health issues affecting your employees by objectively measuring ergonomic risk factors in your workplace; thus, suggesting actions you can take to improve their safety and well-being.
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as back pain, shoulder strain, and carpal tunnel syndrome are among the most common workplace injuries in Malaysia. These problems often result from poor workstation design, repetitive tasks, and awkward postures. Through Ergonomics Training and Assessment, organizations can reduce risks, comply with OSHA requirements, and improve employee well-being and productivity.

Did you know?
Many cases of occupational diseases caused by ergonomic risk factors which have been reported to DOSH have affected workers’ productivity, profitability and cost compensation. This is due to the ergonomic risk factors that can cause pain and injury from musculoskeletal disorders resulting in costly medical and compensation claims, many days of medical leave, and a slower work pace. Therefore, Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) is important to help employers to resolve these issues.
