PROFILE
The firm assists clients who
require legal assistance.
 Lesson Objectives:
• To identify work ergonomic
risk factors.
INTRODUCTION • Recognize awkward posture,
vigorous and continuous
activity, repeated motions,
static and sustained posture,
vibration, tactile stress, and
environmental risk factors.
