HRDF HRD Corp Claimable Workplace Ergonomics and Manual Handling Training

Employees in Malaysia are strongly encouraged to learn about workplace ergonomics and manual handling for a variety of compelling reasons, help employees avoid work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) and other injuries by providing proper ergonomics and manual handling training. This will improve workplace safety and health. Employees can reduce their risk of strains, sprains, and other injuries caused by poor posture, repetitive movements, or incorrect lifting methods by learning and implementing proper procedures.

Increased productivity can be achieved by providing workers with an ergonomically designed workplace and training them in safe manual handling techniques. This enables workers to complete tasks in a less painful manner while also saving time. A comfortable and healthy work environment contributes to increased employee morale, decreased employee fatigue, and increased overall productivity. Workplace injuries can result in significant costs for businesses, such as medical bills, workers’ compensation claims, and lost productivity. Employers can help to reduce these costs by preventing injuries and fostering a culture of safety in the workplace by investing in ergonomics and manual handling training programmes.

Compliance with regulations: The Malaysian Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) requires businesses to provide a risk-free working environment for their employees. This includes providing training on workplace ergonomics and safe manual handling to reduce the likelihood of employee injury. Employers can demonstrate compliance with local rules while also maintaining a positive reputation as responsible employers by allowing employees to participate in this training. Training employees in ergonomics and safe manual handling demonstrates an organization’s commitment to its employees’ health and safety. This preventative strategy contributes to the development of a positive work culture in which employees feel appreciated and supported, resulting in increased job satisfaction and employee retention.

Workplace Ergonomics and Manual Handling training is critical for Malaysian workers if they are to maintain a safe and healthy working environment, increase productivity, stay in compliance with regulations, and foster a culture that prioritises their safety and well-being.
