Power
Zone Ergonomics (ERG-026)
Soft-tissue injuries and illness cost billions each year. This video covers
employee power zones, the areas where employees are most comfortable and at
their most powerful to do work. By designing work that fits more than 90% of
the workforce, it is easier for employees to work and less tiring, making
them more productive and happier to be at work. Decreased physical demands
translates into increased production and increased quality with fewer
employee injuries. This video will identify four employee power zones so
that employees are not stressed beyond their physical limits. Power zones
let the employer look at jobs in a whole new way. Quick and inexpensive
fixes will seem obvious. (12 min., English)
