  20. Safe Ergonomic Practices garima 20

  21. garima 21

  22. Proper Lifting Technique: •Safe - Using proper lifting techniques (e.g., bending the knees, keeping the back straight) when handling heavy materials to prevent back strain garima 22

  23. garima 23

  24. Frequent Breaks: • Safe- Encouraging workers to take regular breaks to prevent overexertionand reduce the risk of ergonomic injuries. garima 24

  25. garima 25

  26. Proper Lighting: • Safe- Ensuring that work areas are well-lit to reduce eye strain and discomfort. garima 26

  27. Training and Awareness Safe - Providing training and raising awareness about ergonomic best practices to all workers. garima 27

  28. Use of PPE •Wearing personal protective equipment, such as ergonomic gloves or anti-vibration gloves, to reduce the risk of injuries. garima 28

  36. EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS IN ERGONOMIC HAZARDS garima 36

  37. Mechanical Assistance Equipment Forklifts: To lift and transport heavy materials, reducing the need for manual lifting. garima 37

  38. Ergonomic Tools •These are specially designed hand tools that reduce strain and improve grip, making tasks more comfortable. Examples include ergonomic hammers, screwdrivers, and wrenches. garima 38

  39. Cranes: Used for lifting heavy objects and materials, reducing the risk of manual handling injuries. Pallet Jacks: For moving heavy pallets and materials with less manual effort. garima 39

  40. Power Tools with Vibration Dampening •Power tools, such as drills and jackhammers, equipped with vibration dampening features to reduce the impact on the hands and arms of workers. garima 40

  41. • Using digital tools and technology can be highly effective in addressing ergonomic hazards in building design and construction. Here's how to leverage digital work for managing ergonomic hazards in building projects: DIGITAL TOOLS AND TECHNOLOGY garima 41

  42. BIM (Building Information Modelling) Digital Design Utilize BIM software for digital design and planning of buildings. This allows you to assess and optimize ergonomics in the early stages of construction. garima 42

  43. Virtual Walkthroughs • Create virtual 3D models of the building to visualize and analyze ergonomics, identifying potential hazards before construction begins. garima 43

  44. Ergonomic Software and Apps Ergonomic Assessment Tools Use specialized ergonomic assessment software and apps that provide guidelines and checklists to evaluate and address ergonomic hazards. Data Collection Digital tools can help collect data on worker movements and ergonomics, allowing for real-time analysis and adjustments. garima 44

  45. The Importance of Posture Maintaining good posture is essential for preventing ergonomic hazards. Proper posture can help reduce strain on the body and prevent musculoskeletal disorders. It's important to be aware of your posture throughout the day and make adjustm ents as needed. garima 45
