Preventing Musculoskeletal Injury in the Workplace
Work related musculoskeletal disorders such as strains to the neck, back, shoulders, arms and wrists can occur as a result of ergonomic factors. Key factors include poor posture, over reaching to the keyboard and mouse and repetetive use of screen based equipment.
Significant Noise
Exposure to significant noise can contribute to the onset of noise induced hearing loss. Noise levels in the workplace are measured by using a range of equipment including a hand held noise meter and personal exposure meters.
High Dust Levels in the Work Place
High dust levels can contribute to respiratory conditions including bronchitis, asthma and silicosis. There can also be skin (dermal) and ocular (eye) effects. The symptoms can vary depending on the type of dust and the level of exposure.

Some of our Case Studies
In: Ergonomics | Noise Levels | Occupational Hygiene
Dewing Ergonomics and Safety were contracted to undertake a noise survey for a large winery that operated a packaging plant where cask wine bladders were filled.
An ergonomic/manual handling issue arose in the machining section of an engineering company. Steel circular disks weighing greater than 30 kg had to be machined on a lathe.
