ERGONOMIC HAZARD ELIMINATION IN WAREHOUSE LOGISTICS BY APPLYING THE HEIRARCHY OF CONTROL MEASURES

INDUSTRIAL SAFETY ENGINEERING

Safety is a crucial aspect of human existence. In every industry, occupational health and safety has become an essential component. The goal of this project is to use the HIRA method to control ergonomic risks in warehouse logistics. The identification of ergonomic risks in warehouse logistics is the primary objective of this paper. In order to conduct a Hazards Identification Risk Assessment (HIRA) for manual handling activities, it is necessary to reduce risk everywhere in order to evaluate the safety measures. The risk can be derived from the hazards, and the severity rating for the hazards can then be examined. determining whether or not the risks are acceptable by calculating their severity and likelihood of occurrence. We can provide a variety of hierarchy of control measures to lower the risk's severity and probability level by utilizing HIRA methods. We can reduce ergonomic issues in warehouse logistics by implementing engineering controls and administration controls. The science of designing the workplace with the worker's capabilities and limitations in mind is known as workplace ergonomics. Risk factors for musculoskeletal injuries can be eliminated through an ergonomics improvement process at the workplace, allowing for improved human performance and productivity.
