Knife Sharpening Program
  • Use good on-line knife sharpeners
  • Install these sharpeners correctly
  • Properly maintain the honing and/or hollow
    grinding machine
  • Have knife sharpeners learn and use proper
    sharpening techniques
  • Maintain consistent blade shapes
  • Inform sharpener of cutting jobs where people
    are having MSDs

24
Knife Handles
  • Knife handles come in a variety of ergonomic
    designs, including soft grip, non-slip, and
    angled blades.

25
Job Enlargement
26
Job Rotation Benefits
  • Reduced boredom
  • Reduced work stress
  • Reduced MSDs
  • Reduced turnover
  • Reduced absenteeism

27
Job Rotation Implementation Problems
  • Workers did not want to change
  • Machine operators didnt want to lend to
    others
  • Education and training for new jobs
  • Finding appropriate jobs to rotate to
  • Used inappropriately by management

28
Job Rotation Goals
  • Reduce number of MSDs
  • Reduce rotations that increase stress
  • Reduce absenteeism and turnover
  • Involve and further educate employees

29
Personal Protective Equipment

Workplace Use of Back BeltsNIOSH 94-122
  • Insufficient Data that belts significantly
    reduce trunk loading
  • Insufficient data that wearing reduces risk of
    injury based on IAP and EMG
  • May strain cardiovascular system
  • Insufficient data that discontinuation of use
    increases risk among healthy workers

NIOSH does not recommend as a tool for prevention
