Ergonomics and Repetitive Motion - September 2026 - Week 37
This week we are talking about ergonomics and repetitive motion injuries. These are not the injuries that happen in a moment. They are the ones that build quietly over weeks, months, and years of doing the same movements in the same positions day after day. By the time most people feel them, the damage is already done and reversing it is significantly harder than preventing it.
Ergonomic injuries are the most common category of workplace injury in manufacturing and production environments. They affect more team members than any other hazard type and account for a significant portion of lost time, restricted duty, and permanent disability. And they are almost entirely preventable with awareness, habit changes, and the willingness to speak up early when something does not feel right.
