An ergonomic assessment typically involves several steps: 1. Observation: Assessors observe nurses performing their duties to identify any risky practices or postures. 2. Interviews and Surveys: Nurses may be interviewed or asked to complete surveys to provide insight into their daily tasks and any discomfort they experience. 3. Measurement and Analysis: Tools like goniometers and force gauges may be used to measure angles, forces, and other physical parameters. 4. Recommendations: Based on the findings, assessors recommend changes to work practices, equipment, or the environment to mitigate risks.
