description: Ergonomic risk factors exist in almost every workplace, contributing to 33% of all disabling occupational incidents and 40% of the direct workers’ compensation costs annually (Liberty Mutual, 2019;  Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2020). In addition to worker injuries, such risk factors negatively impact quality, production, service efficiency, employee morale, and overall operational success.
