In addition to the risk of working daily with
hazardous materials and substances, laboratory personnel are also exposed to
many ergonomic risks due to the nature of their work and research they
conduct. Laboratory-associated ergonomic risks are the same as those
found in the office and general industry. These risk factors include
awkward or sustained postures, highly repetitive movements, excessive force or
strain, contact stresses, and vibration.
In the lab,
good ergonomic work practices are often sacrificed. Don't wait for your
wake up call, visit our website and complete an ergonomic
checklist for your lab or work station.
