 Participatory ergonomics involves:
| 1. | Recognising that the employee is an expert on his or her job; |
| 2. | Teaching the employee the basic principles of ergonomics; and |
| 3. | Seeking the employee’s input on how his or her workstation could be improved. |
|
At its most basic, participatory ergonomics is an employee and their supervisor assessing a task and making a change to the job setup.
At the macro level a participatory ergonomics program is an organisation-wide approach, with substantive commitment by all levels of management across a large organisation.
