The Impact of Ergonomic Design on Reducing Workplace Injuries and Increasing Productivity

Abstract

Ergonomic design plays a crucial role in minimizing workplace injuries and enhancing productivity. Poor ergonomic conditions often lead to musculoskeletal disorders, reduced efficiency, and increased absenteeism. This study aims to analyze the impact of ergonomic interventions on employee well-being and performance. A mixed-method approach was employed, incorporating workplace assessments, employee surveys, and productivity analysis. The findings indicate that ergonomic improvements significantly reduce work-related injuries, enhance comfort, and increase overall efficiency. Moreover, organizations investing in ergonomic design experience higher employee satisfaction and lower healthcare costs. These results emphasize the importance of integrating ergonomics into workplace policies to foster a safer and more productive environment.
