Initial Ergonomics Risk Assessment (IERA)
Course
Introduction
The Initial Ergonomics Risk Assessment (IERA) is an assessment that has to be conducted by the employer to identify, evaluate, and address potential ergonomic hazards in a workplace. The objective is to avoid or lessen the risk of musculoskeletal diseases (MSDs), injuries, and pain that might result from bad posture, repeated tasks, or poorly designed workstations.
Why
IERA
- Identifying and reducing ergonomic risks can help avoid injuries such as
musculoskeletal problems, sprains and strains. - Overall productivity will be increased since workers are able to work more
comfortably and less likely to feel fatigue. - Reducing workplace injuries will lead to lower medical costs, reduced workers’
compensation claims, and fewer lost workdays.
