1. Introduction

Ergonomics, as defined by the Board of Certification for Professional Ergonomists (BCPE), "is a body of
knowledge about human abilities, human limitations and human characteristics that are relevant to design.
Ergonomic design is the application of this body of knowledge to the design of tools, machines, systems,
tasks, jobs, and environments for safe, comfortable and effective human use" (BCPE, 1993).

The term ergonomics is derived from the Greek word ergos meaning "work" and nomos meaning
"natural laws of" or "study of." The profession has two major branches with considerable overlap. One
discipline, sometimes referred to as "industrial ergonomics," or "occupational biomechanics,"
concentrates on the physical aspects of work and human capabilities such as force, posture, and
repetition. A second branch, sometimes referred to as "human factors," is oriented to the psychological
aspects of work such as mental loading and decision making.

2. Ergonomic Risk Controls

The building and construction industry is a dynamic and hazardous industry, making it both unique
and challenging for ergonomic aspects to be implemented on site. Therefore, there are lots of controlling
factors that can be taken into consideration in implementing ergonomics and controlling ergonomics risk
factors in the construction site. Ergonomic controls are used to help fit the workplace to the worker. They
seek to place the body in a neutral position and reduce the other ergonomic risk factors. These controls
must accommodate the widest range of personnel. There are a few approaches and steps can be taken to
improve ergonomics implementation in the workplace and to reduce the risk factors that can be done
through a few control channels such as communication, management control, ergonomic design factors,
training and education as well as written ergonomics programs.

3. Communications

Many problems in health and safety arise due to poor communication. It is not just a problem between
management and workplace; it is often a problem the other way or indeed at the same level within an
organization. It arises from ambiguities or even, accidental distortion of a message [1]. Therefore it is
important for team leaders and supervisors to engage in actions which demonstrate support for workers to
facilitate positive exchange relationships, encouraging employees to raise safety concerns. Brooks [2]
believes that understanding the communications network and requirements of the workplace can be the
key to getting the layout and internal structure right. There are a few common channel of communication
such as meetings, reporting structures, and clear link between departments may be quite well understood,
but, informal communications network within an organization which makes the difference between
success and failure. Therefore it is essential to understand the basic informal communication such as who
needs regular access to whom, how things get done and which departments need to be sited close to one
another. According to Marras and Karwowski [3], to enhance communication the following points should
be considered:
Verbally communicate the importance of ergonomics as the means to a safe, healthy and
efficient workplace.
Express interest to give a message that the program is important and to instil energy and quality
of work in employees.
State the program objectives clearly.
Cooper [4] stated that closer contact and better communications between all organizational levels is a
characteristic of good safety culture. It also be supported by Keith Molenaar [5] said that communication
is the effectiveness of management in communicating safety goals to employees in the field. In order to
enhance communication in ergonomics implementation in the workplace, there are few types of
communication that can be implemented by top management. Dias & Coble [1] in his book stated that,
verbal communication is the most common. It is communication by speech or word of mouth. Verbal

communication should only be used for relatively simple pieces of information or instruction. It is most
commonly used in the workplace, during training sessions or at meetings. The merits of verbal
communication is that, it is less formal, enables an exchange of information to take place quickly and the
message to be conveyed as near to the workplace as possible. Training or instructions that are delivered in
this way are called toolbox talks and can be very effective.
Written communication takes many forms from the simple memo to the detailed report. A memo
should contain one simple message and be written in straightforward and clear language. The title should
accurately describe the contents of the memo. The advantage of memos and emails is that there is a
record of the message after it has been delivered. Reports are more substantial documents and cover a
topic in greater detail. The report should contain a detailed account of the topic and any conclusions or
recommendations. The most common way in which written communication is used in the workplace is
the notice board. It must be well positioned within the workplace. Graphic communication is
communication by the use of drawings, photographs or videos. The most common forms are the poster
and videos. Both can be used very effectively as training aids since they can retain interest and impart a
simple message.
Dias & Coble [1] also found that, managers and supervisors should plan to have regular discussions to
learn about the problems faced by employees and discuss possible solutions. Some meetings, like the
safety committee, are specifically planned for safety matters, but this should be reinforced by discussing
health and safety issues at all routine management meetings. Regular one to one talks should also take
place in the workplace to get specific messages across and get feedback from employees in order to
enhance ergonomic implementation through communication channel.

4. Ergonomic Designs

The ergonomic approach to work place design must be recognized at the earlier stage and be
considered as one of the most essential factors in designing a workplace as suitable design will be the
most effective and it is the first choice for controlling sources of workplace stress. According to Dias &
Coble [1], application of ergonomics principles to the design of man machine interfaces, including
displays of plant and process information, control devices and panel layout need to be considered
seriously in designing the best ergonomic design for the workers. He also believes that, design and
presentation of procedures and operating instructions in the simplest terms possible such as by
organization and control of the working environment, including the workspace, access for maintenance,
lighting, noise and heating conditions.
On the other point of view, Michael et al [6] stated that, “conservative” treatment of these disorders,
especially in the early symptomatic stages, using workplace evaluation for risk factors followed by
modifications and rest to reduce inciting or aggravating positions and or movements. While Piligan [7]
claims that, the goals of intervention are to reduce awkward positions, minimize the need to use excess
force, reduce highly repetitive movement, reduce the period of time spend in one position and ensure
sufficient rest/recovery period. It was hypothesized by Byrne [8] that compared to workers who received
an ergonomic evaluation and tailored modifications of existing workstation, symptomatic workers who
received both the ergonomic and job stress management intervention would have greater improvement in
outcomes. It is important to emphasize that the focus of the prevention intervention was modifying the
existing workstations, instead of providing new furniture or equipment. As for the space requirement in
designing, Brooks [2] described space requirement as the amount of space each individual staff member
needs to do their job, storage space, meeting rooms, communal areas and equipment space. A wish list
may be relevant to stakeholders in order to help to understand what the needs of each individual or
department. Apart from that, it may also helpful to ask people to priorities their lists so that it can be

differentiate between needs and nice to haves. Understanding what people‟s needs can make a real
difference of the new surroundings and staff productivity. As listed below, there are few design
guidelines that should be taken into consideration in designing the most ergonomic design for workers:

Table 1: Design Guidelines

Authors Design Guideline


Woodside [9] Avoid design that incur static (isometric) muscle tension
If static muscle tension cannot be avoided, ensure that the
muscular load remains less than 15% of the maximal muscle
force.
Design the work system to prevent overloading of the muscular
system
Forces necessary for dynamic activities should be kept less than
30%^ of the maximal forces that the muscles are capable of
generating, forces over 50% are acceptable only when kept to
short duration.
Use postures for the limbs and body that provide the best lever
arms for muscle used
Use footrests, wrist rests, proper backrests, and other ergonomic
features to prevent fatigue
Design for allowing changes in posture
Jeffrey [17] Work surface heights should depend on the size (anthropometry)
of the worker and the type of task performed (precision, light
assembly or heavy manual)
In general work within 30% of one‟s maximum voluntary
contraction (strength). Avoid overloading of muscular system.
Aim at dynamic work; avoid static work (work where there is no
movement). Static work or static loading of the muscles is
inefficient and accelerates fatigue. Static work can occur when
holding a weight in one‟s arms for an extended period, or
constant bending of the back to perform some task.
Primary controls, devices and workplaces should be placed
within the normal working area.
Work with both hands. Do not use one hand (non preferred hand)
as a biological holding device.
Hands should move in symmetrical and opposite directions, and
use the feet as well as the hands.
Design knowing the capacity of the fingers, and do not overload
the fingers.
Counter balance tools when possible to reduce the weight and
forces.
Train the individual to use the workplace facility and equipment
properly.
Woodside & Eliminate the hazard instead of treating the symptom
Kocurek [9] Design to accommodate more than just the average user. Make
tools and the work environment adjustable or designed to fit a
majority of the users.

Design for the tallest workers where working height of the hands
cannot be adjusted
Limit the amount of reaching and twisting required in handling
materials
Design the bend in the tool to prevent twisting and bending of the
wrist and use of excessive force.
Avoid sharp or hard edges where hands contact tools.
Incorporate changes in position or short breaks into the job or
workstation to avoid static work situations.
Use controls and displays that respond in the way most people
expect them to, such as a knob that turns clockwise to increase
volume.

5. Safety Management

Management must understand the part safety can play in company strategy. There are a few
historically opinion regarding to organizational management in ensuring safety in workplace and to
workers, the first and oldest view proposed by Heinrich [10] is that accidents are caused by employee
behaviour (the one injured). In Heinrich‟s view, the method to lower accident rates is to change employee
behaviour. This view supported by Haddon [11] who believes that the working environment acts on the
employee to cause the accident (example: poor design, missing machinery guards or scaffolding
collapsing). The Haddon method of lowering accident rates is with design solution. The third historical
view on management is by Cohen 1977 which stated that “Management commitment to safety, that is its
overt concern and support for safety activities, represents a dominant factor in safety experience”.
Whereas Herzberg [13] considers a safe working environment a hygiene factor, thus it does not
motivate if it is in place and is only an issue if missing which leads to situation that employee may see
safety as only a maintenance factor if in place, but for management the lack of a safety program can have
regulatory compliance issues, influence company morale, make recruiting difficult and impact the bottom
line. Therefore continuous management support is a critical part of a successful safety program.
Rechentin [14] mention that a successful safety program is defined as a program that doesn‟t just meet
regulatory compliance, but a program that stands out from the competition. It must be an exemplary
program with results that add value for the client and the company. The program will recognize the value
of people, and the people create value for the client. According to Tayyari & Smith [15] management
must be fully supportive; otherwise the program will not be successful. The ergonomics programs should
be given as much priority as production, quality and safety. Commitment by management provides the
organizational resources and motivating force necessary to deal effectively with ergonomics related
hazards (Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 1990).
Tayyari & Smith [15] also believes that management‟s support must be demonstrated at all
organizational levels for the program to get credibility and corporate wide cooperation. In order to obtain
support from employee, it may be necessary to educate them about the benefits of an ergonomics program
such as by conducting a brief seminar or successful ergonomics implementation and high visibility of a
plant manager at the ergonomics meetings and educational programs effectively demonstrates
commitment by top management for sustaining the program. The above ideas also supported by Brooks
[2] who believes that stakeholders (the top management) should play an important part in enhancing
ergonomic. This can be done through stakeholder analysis which is a technique used to gather the
6 A.H. Abdul-Tharim
A.H Abdul-Tharim,N. et al.I.F
Jaffar, N.S Lop, / Procedia Engineering
Mohd-Kamar/ 20 Engineering
Procedia (2011) 80 – 88

requirements, views and feelings of all the people. These may include managers, office staff, unions and
maintenance person. This analysis can lead to additional benefits such as gaining a good understanding of
these stakeholders‟ views that they will subsequently feel involved in the process of change which leads
to greater sense of ownership and commitment to any changes which could facilitate a smoother move
from one layout to another. There are two types in gathering information, which is via interview or
through paper or electronically circulated questionnaires. Interview is the most effective method in
gathering information but is clearly time consuming compare to questionnaire analysis. In order to
increase the effectiveness of organizational management in enhancing ergonomics in workplace and
reduce the risk factors, there are a few management controls can be done according to Tayyari & Smith
[15] as the following:
The first management controls can be done through engineering control, which required a designing
or redesigning workstation, tools and method in order to eliminate the occupational risk factors in terms
of:
Workstation design: should be designed to accommodate the population that will assign to the
workstation. The design should fit all size of worker.
Work method design: static, awkward and extreme postures, repetitive movements, and
excessive forces should minimize. The strength and endurance requirements of the jobs should
be within the workers abilities.
Tool and handle design: ergonomically designed tools and handles can reduce the risk of
cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs). Various sizes of tools should be provided for a proper fit
rather than one size fits all. Special purpose tools should be used where needed for certain job
The second management controls according to Brooks [2] is through the administrative controls.
Administrative controls are applied to reduce the duration, frequency or severity of exposures to work
stressors. The following are the example of administrative controls stated by Brooks [2]:
Providing rest breaks to recover from work induced fatigue.
Increase the number of employees assigned to a task to distribute the overall load over a larger
number of individuals.
Using job rotation. Job rotation should be used with caution to insure that the same muscle
tendon groups are not used.
Job enlargement. Various tasks may be added to the employee‟s job.
Establishing an effective mechanism to ensure that facilities, equipment and tools are well
maintained.
Surveillance is an initial step to improving workplace by identifying the areas with problems or the
potential for improvement. Data can be obtained thru information on injuries and accidents, production
and quality measures and personnel records [3]. There are a few surveillance method that can be
conducted as suggested by Marras & Karwowski [3],such as the medical information at which injuries or
illness have been reported in order to determine the problem areas, discomfort surveys, absenteeism and
turnover that can be indicators of difficult or stressful jobs that may warrant redesign, production and
quality data as the indicators of a mismatch of the workplace to the employee, accident investigation can
be a powerful tool to identify ergonomics based problems, audit to determine problem areas or areas of
potential improvement and the last but not least, open ended interviews, focus groups and employee
suggestions.
According to Rowan & Wright [16], error reduction is an important benefit of good ergonomic
management due to the reason that minimizing the error can reduce injury, lowering the rates of
accidents, improve quality and increase productivity and reliability. Contributing factors of error are
known to be routine, fatigue and distraction. Therefore the goal of ergonomic management are to reduce
or eliminate factors which contributes to error and minimize the consequences of error because

ergonomic management is a complex and ongoing process which should be an integral part of both
corporate strategy and culture.
Rowan & Wright [16] also believe that ergonomics management requires the involvement of every
department and every level of employee. Awareness of ergonomic principles must permeate the entire
organization. Identifying ergonomic problems is not the big picture to ergonomic management because
finding the solution is more challenging. Good solution often requires inputs from numerous department
and employees who are most directly involved with the work being studied are the best inputs. Financial
commitment is another essential component of an ergonomics process as many ergonomic problems can
be resolved with minimal cost, some organizations, because of budget restrictions, may have to limit
initial ergonomic endeavours to a particular department or section rather than simultaneously
implementing ergonomic changes across the whole organization.

6. Training and Education

According to Tayyari & Smith [15], training and education are an effective way of increasing
awareness of ergonomics issues (i.e. CTDs and back injuries) and resolving problems before injuries
occur. Ergonomics education allows managers, supervisors and employees to understand work related
hazards with a job. By reducing medical claims, training lowers insurance premiums and increases the
organization‟s profitability and helps prevent liability suits. There are a few training that can be done to
educate workers in order to reduced the workplace risk factors and enhance ergonomic educations among
the workers because training and education will reinforce the efforts of first line supervisors in getting the
employees to comply with proper work practices. A well educated workforce will lead to healthier
workforce. Marras & Karwowski [3] stated three training that can be done to increase workers awareness
which are the in depth training, awareness training and refresher training. In depth training is
recommended for the person or team primarily responsible and involved with ergonomics. The objectives
of these training are to:
Understand the overall program objectives, goals and process
Understand the injury and illness system for treatment, return to work and job modifications
Be able to correctly record and interpret medical records and OSHA logs for surveillance
purposes
Know how to conduct basic problem solving job analysis for ergonomics issues
Recognize risk factors for injury and illness in workplace design
Be able to develop, implement and affirm effectiveness of solutions to basic problems
Understand basic ergonomics principles to apply to solution and new designs
Be familiar with outside resources and methods for finding resources

The awareness level training should be implemented for all employees. New employees should be
trained to maintain the knowledge base in the workforce. Commercial videos and training programs can
be used to conduct a training program for basic training. Nevertheless, it is not unusual to give separate
programs for supervisors, management and production workers as there may be differences in educational
level and perspective of each group. Awareness training prepares employees to participate in ergonomics
process with the objectives to:
Appreciate their role and responsibilities in the program
Recognize the early indicators of physical problems
Understand the medical management system of the company

00 (2011) 000–000 87

Understand basic risk factors for injuries and illness


Know basic ergonomics principles
Understand their participation in job analysis

Refresher training sessions help to maintain the employees‟ interest in ergonomics and can be part of
other processes in the company such as continuous improvement or safety and health. Some companies
have set up self assessment approaches and found that when the employees receive training and are
empowered to contribute, the employees address many problems themselves. Induction training should be
provided to new employees, trainees and possibly contractor‟s covers items such as pay, conditions and
quality, it must also include health and safety that would include the following topics:
The health and safety policy of the organization including a summary of the organization and
arrangements including employee consultation.
A brief summary of the health and safety management system including the name of the
employee‟s direct supervisor, safety representative and source of health and safety information.
The employee responsibility for health and safety including any general health and safety rules
(example : smoking prohibitions)
A summary of any relevant risk assessments and safe systems of work.
Apart from the above essential training, there are other types of training that can be done to increase
workers knowledge on ergonomics such as job specific training-ensures that employees undertake their
jobs in a safe manner. Such training therefore is a form of skill training and is often best done “on the
job” sometimes known as „toolbox training‟. Detailed of the safe system of work or in more hazardous
jobs, a permit to work system should be covered. It is common for this type of training to follow an
operational procedure in the form of a checklist which the employee can sign on completion of the
training. Supervisory and management training follows similar topics to those contained in an induction
training course but will be covered in more depth. There will also be a more detailed treatment of health
and safety law. Specialist training is normally needed for activities that are not related to a specific job
but more to an activity. Example includes first aid, fire prevention, fork lift truck driving, overhead crane
operation, scaffold inspection and statutory health and safety inspections. These training courses are often
provided by specialist organizations and successful participants are awarded certificates.

7. Written Programs

Tayyari & Smith [15] stated that once management has approved an ergonomics program, the next
step is to develop a written ergonomics program statement which outlines the goals and plans for the
program and its support. The program statement should insure that employee well being and productivity
have been addressed. It should also demonstrate management‟s concern about employee benefits. This
written program statement can serve as a medium for familiarizing new employees, supervisors and
managers with the ergonomics philosophy of the organization. The above point of view supported by
Marras & Karwowski [3], who also believes that written program is essential to support and enhance
ergonomic as well as to reduce the risk factors. A written program is often emphasized as essential for a
successful program. A written program basic helps to:
Get the program started more efficiently
Organize thoughts and the best plan of action
Clearly communicate the process
Make it easier to introduce the process to a newcomer
Establish the goals and achievements by which the program can be assessed for success and
improvement.

The written program then should be a clear statement instead of a lengthy in order to convey the
objectives, goals and processes to establish and continue ergonomics within the company. The written
program of ergonomics should consider including the following in the document:
An overall schematic of the components and the process.
Program objectives
A list of those involved and their responsibilities
The program process
Program action list, analyses and changes records and their effectiveness.

8. Conclusion

Based on the litrerature review study it can be concluded that there are several control factors that
significants to be taken into consideration in order to improved the implementation of ergonomics and
reduced the ergonomics risk factors on site such as through enhancing communications and improving
ergonomics workplace design. Followed by the managemant control, training and education for the
employees and la t but not least a proper written ergonomic programs.
