What You’ll Learn in This Free Preview:
Everyday Movements Can Add Up to Strain
Reaching, carrying, bending, and repeating the same task can place demands on an employee’s body throughout a shift.
This free excerpt from REST’s Preventing Ergonomic Injuries lesson introduces workplace hazards that can contribute to physical strain.
It gives employees a starting point for noticing how work is performed. The complete lesson expands on prevention and responding to discomfort, while managers address the tasks, equipment, and workstation arrangements in their restaurant.
