ErgoEaser

ErgoEASER Software Available to Analyze and Solve Ergonomic Hazards Ergonomics Education, Awareness, System Evaluation and Recording, ErgoEASER, is a new software package that has been developed to aid in identifying, evaluating, and preventing work-related musculoskeletal disorders. Evaluating video-display terminal (VDT) workstations and lifting task design, ErgoEASER offers suggestions on how to address ergonomic hazards and reduce worker disabilities. The Department of Energy, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, and other agencies combined efforts to develop this innovative software. Consisting of three interactive components, Getting Started, Awareness and Reporting, and Analysis, ErgoEASER supports the examination of a potentially hazardous workstation. Getting Started supplies an overview and background information on ErgoEASER and occupational ergonomics. Awareness and Reporting provides examples and photographs to help identify ergonomic hazards in the workplace. Analysis uses models of good practice and actual data from the local situation to evaluate VDT workstations and lifting tasks, and recommends solutions for the specific local ergonomic hazards.

ErgoEASER is available for PC-compatible computers running Microsoft Windows. The software includes the User's Guide. For more information, contact David Weitzman (EH-51) at (301) 903-5401 or e-mail (dave.weitzman@eh.doe.gov).
