WRITE AN ESSAY ON PHYSICAL AND EMERGING HAZARDS EOH SLP 4
In your walkthroughs through the facility, you notice that many employees have hearing aids. You also notice that it is hard for people to hear each other because of constantly pounding presses and constantly running conveyor belts. Heavy equipment, cranes, and forklifts are constantly operating in the factory as well. Another concern to address is back injuries in this facility. Many are losing work days due to back injury. Although they routinely perform tasks involving heavy physical labor, during the construction period, you decide to do a study to address noise exposure and back-related ergonomics in this facility:
Design a plan to evaluate the noise levels to which workers are exposed in this facility.
Examine the situation to decide if a hearing protection program should be implemented and explain the elements that need to be determined to make a determination.
Design a plan to reduce the exposure of workers to noise produced by equipment in this facility, particularly the presses and conveyor belts.
How would you go about assessing the workplace for ergonomics for musculoskeletal disorders, specifically back related disorders?
Design a program to reduce these back injuries in your workers.
