Guide aims to educate safety professionals about myriad ergonomics issues
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- TuMeke, a pioneer in using AI and computer vision for ergonomic assessments that reduce workplace injuries, today announced that it has released AI-Driven Ergonomics: The Future of Workplace Safety, a resource for safety professionals. The release comes in conjunction with National Ergonomics Month, a Human Factors and Ergonomics Society initiative that aims to "promote the science, application and profession of" human factors and ergonomics.
The eBook, which addresses how modern ergonomic software can reduce injuries in the workplace, complements the educational resources TuMeke provides to safety professionals about today's ergonomic challenges; and how AI-driven software can help reduce workplace injuries and boost employee productivity.
One of the most common and costly workplace injuries, musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) affect millions of workers annually, and according to OSHA, account for nearly 40% of all non-fatal injuries. The Ergonomics Center at NC State University says that "the direct costs of MSDs are $20 billion a year."
When left unaddressed, ergonomic injuries can lead to a multitude of problems, including chronic pain; increased absenteeism and turnover; decreased productivity; and rising costs.
The eBook focuses on a variety of ergonomics-related subject matter, including a foundational understanding of workplace ergonomics and the challenges that exist today.
Riley Noland, TuMeke co-founder said that the resource is a "must-read for safety professionals considering new ways to reduce workplace injuries. They'll learn from real-world examples that demonstrate the effectiveness of AI-driven ergonomic programs."
"We believe that it's critical for safety professionals to understand the challenges and impact of workplace ergonomics risks. The goal of issuing AI-Driven Ergonomics: The Future of Workplace Safety is to provide them the insights they need to evaluate their own workplace ergonomic risk factors and take the appropriate steps to protect their workforce," Noland added.
