Ergonomics experts collaborate with nurses through various methods:
Ergonomic Assessments: They conduct assessments to identify risk factors in the workplace and recommend changes. Training Programs: They provide training on proper body mechanics, safe patient handling techniques, and the use of ergonomic equipment. Equipment Design: They work with manufacturers to design or recommend ergonomic tools and equipment that can reduce physical strain. Workplace Redesign: They suggest modifications in the layout of nursing stations, patient rooms, and other areas to improve workflow and reduce unnecessary movements.
