Why Ergonomic Training and Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) Matter

Modern workplaces require employees to perform repetitive tasks, sit or stand for long hours, and sometimes lift heavy loads. Without proper guidance, these activities can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) such as back pain, neck strain, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

That’s why Ergonomic Training and Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) at the Workplace are essential. Training empowers employees with knowledge about correct posture, safe lifting techniques, and workstation adjustments. Meanwhile, ERA helps employers identify high-risk tasks and implement effective control measures.

What is Ergonomic Training?

Ergonomic Training is designed to give employees a better understanding of ergonomics and how to apply its principles at work. Key areas covered include:

• Correct body posture for sitting, standing, and lifting

• Safe use of tools, machines, and equipment

• Awareness of ergonomic risk factors and how to minimize them

• Practical demonstrations for better work habits

  
  

By providing ergonomic training, organizations reduce the risk of injury while improving productivity and employee well-being

What is Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA)?

An Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA) at the workplace is a systematic process that helps employers:

• Identify ergonomic risk factors in daily operations

• Evaluate the level of risk to workers’ health

• Recommend corrective actions and controls to reduce MSD risks

Our Ergonomic Trained Persons (ETP) are certified and ready to conduct ERA at your workplace, ensuring compliance with DOSH Malaysia’s ergonomic guidelines.

Common Ergonomic Risk Factors in the Workplace

During Ergonomic Training and Ergonomic Risk Assessment (ERA), the following risk factors are identified and addressed:

1. Awkward Postures – Twisting, bending, over-reaching, or working with hands above the head

2. Static and Sustained Postures – Prolonged sitting or standing with little movement

3. Forceful Exertions – Heavy lifting, pushing, pulling, or carrying loads

4. Repetitive Motions – Frequent, repeated use of joints and muscles over long periods

5. Vibration – Exposure to vibrating tools, machinery, or surfaces (whole-body and hand-arm vibration)

6. Contact Stress – Pressure on body parts from tools, equipment, or sharp edges

7. Environmental Factors – Poor lighting, heat, noise, or stressful working conditions

If left uncontrolled, these risk factors can cause long-term injuries and reduced workplace performance
