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.

D) Reviewing workers' comp records is a smart move. Gotta dig into the data to find those ergonomic issues.

B) Observing the employee on the job is the way to go. Sitting behind a desk won't give you the full picture.
