HRCI Exam PHRca Topic 3 Question 1 Discussion

Actual exam question for HRCI's PHRca exam
Question #: 1
Topic #: 3
[All PHRca Questions]

How can an employer determine whether a job creates an ergonomic hazard for an employee?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

Answer option B is correct. Although a review and analysis of OSHA logs (C) or workers' compensation records (D) can be used to determine any injury patterns occurring in the workplace, observing the incumbent (B) performing the work is necessary to determine whether there is an ergonomic hazard in the job. An MSDS (A) describes chemical hazards unrelated to ergonomics.
