Ergonomics support for local initiative in improving safety and health at work : International Labour Organization experiences in industrially developing countries / T. Kawakami, K, Kogi

Ergonomics has played essential roles in the technical cooperation activities of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in occupational safety and health in industrially developing countries. Ergonomics support focusing on practical day-to-day needs at the grass-root workplace has strengthened the local initiative in improving safety and health. ILO Guidelines on Occupational Safety and Health Management System have played increasingly important roles in the systematic planning of local improvement actions. Practical ergonomics support tools, such as action checklists and low-cost improvement guides, should be developed and widely applied so as to reach grass-root levels and help local people create safer and healthier workplaces
