Cherry’s Industrial Equipment highlights MHI’s EASE (Ergonomic Assist Systems & Equipment) initiative—particularly its EASE-101 guidance—as a practical resource to help manufacturers improve workplace ergonomics. With an aging, less physically fit workforce, the message urges employers to redesign work environments and material-handling tasks around people to reduce strain and boost safety and productivity.
What ergonomic change would have the biggest impact in your operations right now, and how would you measure its results?
Ergonomics is more than a buzzword: it is a movement. Nationally, our demographics confirm we are aging and in deteriorating physical shape. This impacts the workplace, and good employers must think of their businesses in terms of ergonomics. EASE is the group within MHI solely focused on making work easier for people by improving the work environment.
