Two Acknowledgments for Leadership in Safety
• 1. RILA recently signed a “Letter of Agreement” with the “Centers for Disease Control & Prevention” (CDC) and its Occupational Safety and Health Program CDC/NIOSH).
• 2. The Loss Prevention Foundation (LPF), known for its Certification and Training for Loss Prevention also signed a “Letter of Agreement” with (CDC/NIOSH).
• The purpose of both of these Letters of Agreement was to acknowledge the importance of workplace safety and to provide information on safety and health to their membership. In addition, the resources of CDC/NIOSH are committed to these same goals.

• Ergonomic is good business!
Take Away Message
• Correlates with business success• Adds value- provides competitive edge
– Quality, efficiency, profitability– Controls costs (direct and indirect)
It’s the right thing to do• Protection of our most valuable resource: employees!
But, we can do more to protect our employees/customers.

Purpose of our Presentations
.
We will show through examples how applying ergonomic principles can:
- improve productivity
- reduce loss of property
- reduce loss of work time
from preventable accidents

Ergonomics is an engineering science to improve work efficiency
Ergonomics is about prevention through design.
What you may not know about ergonomics.
![Page 9: Vern Anderson, Ph.D., Coordinator Retail Trades Occupational Health CDC/NIOSH Mike Leiner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a4e550346895dc78094/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ergonomics is about adapting work to fit your workforce: big or small*
Ergonomics is about how workers do their job and use tools (Logistics)
What you may not know about ergonomics
![Page 10: Vern Anderson, Ph.D., Coordinator Retail Trades Occupational Health CDC/NIOSH Mike Leiner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a4e550346895dc78094/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Put aside the notion that workplace ergonomics is only about injuries
• Ergonomics makes good business sense:
• Healthy people work better
• Sick people perform poorly
Ergonomics : Some Facts
![Page 11: Vern Anderson, Ph.D., Coordinator Retail Trades Occupational Health CDC/NIOSH Mike Leiner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a4e550346895dc78094/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why Address
Manual Material Handling?
![Page 12: Vern Anderson, Ph.D., Coordinator Retail Trades Occupational Health CDC/NIOSH Mike Leiner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a4e550346895dc78094/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Some Facts to Consider: (Retail/Wholesale)
• Affects 8-10% of workers yearly
• Accounts for 21-36% of workplace injuries
• Responsible for 33% -60% of workplace injuries costs
Because Lifting Injuries are important
![Page 13: Vern Anderson, Ph.D., Coordinator Retail Trades Occupational Health CDC/NIOSH Mike Leiner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a4e550346895dc78094/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
They represent the biggest single contributor to worker injury in the United States
In short: Lifting Related Injuries
...and the application of good ergonomic design and good work practices can substantially reduce those incidences.

Ergonomic Study ExampleHeight Adjusted Pallet Jack
Used a Height Adjustable Pallet Jack to elevate low boxes on pallet (bottom 1/3) to waist level when stocking on store floor, thereby reducing back bending & compressive forces on spine when cutting boxes open and lifting from pallets.

Okay, so not everybody gets excited about ergonomics
![Page 25: Vern Anderson, Ph.D., Coordinator Retail Trades Occupational Health CDC/NIOSH Mike Leiner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a4e550346895dc78094/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tested a spring-loaded customized self-leveling cart to reduce the bending and stooping required to load/unload flat-bed carts and the forces on the back /spine
Ergonomic Study ExampleSelf-Leveling Cart Deli/Bakery
![Page 26: Vern Anderson, Ph.D., Coordinator Retail Trades Occupational Health CDC/NIOSH Mike Leiner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a4e550346895dc78094/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Ergonomic Study Example: Results
BEFORE AFTER
• Strong positive usability feedback and highly recommended (2 associates)
• Back, Shoulder, & Knee discomfort ↓dropped ≥ 30% (2 associates)
• Productivity ↑increased 1.9% (delivery time) = 5.3 min. savings/day
Spring Self leveling cart : Deli/Bakery
![Page 27: Vern Anderson, Ph.D., Coordinator Retail Trades Occupational Health CDC/NIOSH Mike Leiner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a4e550346895dc78094/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Ergonomic Results Example: Deli Bakery
BEFORE AFTER
• Also Positive usability feedback and recommended (1 associate)
• Reported Low Back discomfort ↓ 29% (1 associate)
• Productivity ↑ 9.2% (transport time) = 6.2 min. savings/day (1 associate)
Tested Battery powered adjustable cart to reduce carrying & Lifting
![Page 28: Vern Anderson, Ph.D., Coordinator Retail Trades Occupational Health CDC/NIOSH Mike Leiner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a4e550346895dc78094/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Findings from Ergonomic Studies
• Adjustable carts allowed products to be placed at waist level– Reduced -bending down to floor level – More workers were able to do this job – Did not affect productivity
• Workers liked the cart– Reported less back fatigue – Easy to use - felt to be more productive– Liked cart maneuverability
![Page 29: Vern Anderson, Ph.D., Coordinator Retail Trades Occupational Health CDC/NIOSH Mike Leiner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062323/56815a4e550346895dc78094/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• Sprains/strains–muscles, ligaments, tendons
• Chronic pain affecting joints
• Disc injuries of the back or neck
• Compression of peripheral nerves
• Soft tissues disorders bruises
• Compression of blood circulation

What you don’t want.
• Median number of lost work days – 5 days for all workers with any injury– 25 days for workers with MSDs
• Average cost per injury– $1,100 for all other cases– $10,800 for an MSD
• MSDs tend to have – Longer durations – Longer treatment time– Greater work disability
