Full-Scale Implementation

A good idea in general is that ergonomic control efforts start small, targeting those problem conditions that are clearly identified through safety and health data and job analysis information. Moreover, the control actions can be directed to those conditions that appear easy to fix. Early successes can build the confidence and experience needed in later attempts to resolve more complex problems.

Since full-scale implementation represents change in the workplace, it's important to communicate the importance of the change to all affected employees. Education and training are important components that should not be overlooked.
