The purpose of this study was to generate ergonomic analysis tools to lay the foundation for XYZ Company to determine the potential ergonomic risk factors that were contributing to cumulative trauma disorders injuries. This research was conducted through reviewing relevant literature, available records, and walk-through assessment. The product of this research was the development of an Ergonomic Task Hazard Assessment and a Worksite Checklist tool. These tools will help XYZ Company analyze, track, document, and evaluate risk elements that were identified and generated to abate ergonomic deficiencies. The data collected through these elements will allow management to prevent recurrence of potential exposure to ergonomic-related injuries/illnesses, increase profitability, and more effective application of ergonomic principles in the workplace.
