JUSTIFYING PERFORMANCE SOLUTIONS USING ENGINEERING AND ERGONOMICS REASONING  

Ergonomics, also known as Human Factors (which means “fitting things to
people”), draws on scientific data about humans’ true capabilities and
limitations. In the building industry, it is often the key to a well-justified
Performance Solution, by considering the attributes of users of a facility, when
and how they use it, as well as explaining how people actually see, move,
understand and sense their surroundings. It takes into account the breadth of
human behaviour, human size, strength, abilities, and limits. Ergonomics is a
powerful tool in developing justified Performance Solutions.

fall involving stairs. While most of these injuries are preventable, it remains
a fact that such incidents can and do often result in serious injuries or even
death.

design, construction and use.

THE MOST COMMON WORKPLACE INJURIES IN AUSTRALIA AND HOW TO PREVENT THEM 

A recent worldwide study led by the University of Sydney has proven that lower
back pain is the most commonly recorded workplace injury, ranking higher than
any other condition including cardiac disease and depression. Often both severe
and costly, back injuries can arise from a number of ergonomic exposures
including heavy lifting, forceful movement, awkward positions and poor
workstation set up.
