Why Ergonomics is Critical to Your Workplace and Career
According to the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS), about 2.3 million Canadians suffer from MSDs each year, significantly impacting their work productivity and personal lives. Ergonomics can help in mitigating such cases.
A 2021 report from the Association of Workers' Compensation Boards of Canada indicated that 31% of all accepted lost-time claims were related to MSDs. Ergonomic interventions can significantly reduce the occurrence of these claims, thus helping employers control workers' compensation costs.
Investing in ergonomics not only helps prevent injuries but also boosts productivity. A study by the Institute for Work & Health in Canada showed that companies implementing ergonomic interventions saw an average productivity increase of 24%.
Ergonomics is instrumental in facilitating return-to-work scenarios. It aids in modifying tasks, adjusting workstations, or changing work schedules to match workers' capabilities during their recovery phase, thereby speeding up the return to work.
According to US Labour statistics (2022), ergonomic knowledge was routinely a top 5 requirement of employers for health and safety personnel, where 63% of all workplace injuries are related to MSIs.
