What’s at Stake?
One size does not fit all when it comes to work equipment. Whenever a worker must modify or adjust herself to perform a work task, the mismatch between the worker and the task causes stress and strain on her body.
If the task needs to be performed only occasionally, it doesn’t typically become a problem. But the strain of performing a task repetitively during one shift or over a period of days, weeks, months and sometimes years can cause chronic ergonomic-related injuries and illnesses that become serious, requiring time off work or surgery.
