  • Title: How to organize and implement health care ergonomics teams.
    Author: Weinstein SA, Flaherty U, Soslow A.
    Journal: Healthc Facil Manag Ser; 1996 Jun; ():1-18. PubMed ID: 10172694.
    Abstract:
    Using a systems approach to safety and health management through a comprehensive ergonomic program addresses workplace processes, operations and conditions as interdependent systems in order to identify and eliminate or reduce all types of ergonomic hazards to employees. This document examines the way one health care facility improved its ergonomic program using this approach, from early data collection to implementation of the new plan. By creating several teams with different areas of concern, they set out to reduce ergonomic-related injuries in their facility by 10 percent.
