  21. Knife Sharpening

  22. Knife Sharpening Angled Right Straight Angled Left

  23. 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 Knife Sharpening Program

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

  25. Job Enlargement

  26. Reduced boredom Reduced work stress Reduced MSDs Reduced turnover Reduced absenteeism Job Rotation Benefits

  27. Workers did not want to change Machine operators didn’t want to “lend” to others Education and training for new jobs Finding appropriate jobs to rotate to Used inappropriately by management Job Rotation Implementation Problems

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

  29. Personal Protective Equipment

  30. 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 Workplace Use of Back BeltsNIOSH 94-122 NIOSH does not recommend as a tool for prevention

  31. What does the worker need to know from this presentation?
