recognize and address ergonomic hazards in the workplace.

Read the scenario below. You may also consult any course materials and the links provided.

Deliverables:

$1.$ Complete the Ergonomics Course Assignment Worksheet based upon the scenario

below and your own research into control options. Identify five ways to control the risk

of back injuries while transferring and lifting patients between bathtubs and wheelchairs

and record them on the worksheet. Rank these options in priority of implementation

$($i$.$e$.,$ which option should be implemented first$)$ and identify where each control fits into

the hierarchy of controls. Be specific in your wording about these control measures $($i$.$e$.,$

$$mechanical lift$$ would be too vague $$ what kind of lift device do you mean?$).$

$2.$ In the same document, also identify each control option in terms of the cost$-$benefit

matrix covered in this course.

Scenario:

You are part of an OH&S team responsible for the health and safety needs of a nursing home.

You$$ve noticed a long$-$term trend of nurses experiencing back injuries, including lost$-$time

injuries. You$$ve done job observations and interviewed nurses, which has helped you to identify

that lifting and transferring patients is a crucial hazard to address. In particular, moving patients

between bathtubs and wheelchairs has led to seven back injury claims for four different nurses

in the last five years. Your team has tasked you with identifying viable control measures that

could be implemented in the nursing home to help solve this problem.A$.$ Identify five control measures that could alleviate the issue identified in the scenario and record them in the table below. Be specific in your wording about these control measures $($i$.$e$.,$mechanical lift$$ would be too vague $$ what kind of lift device do you mean?$)$ Also, identify where each control fits into the hierarchy of controls.B$.$ Identify each control measure in terms of the cost$-$benefit matrix and record in the table below. $($E$.$g$.,$ low cost$/$low benefit, high cost$/$low benefit, etc.$)$

C$.$ Based on your analysis in A and B$,$ rank the control options by priority for implementation and record in the table below. Include a very brief explanation of why you$$ve put each control option in the rank that you have.
