ASP Domain 3: Ergonomics Welcome to your ASP Domain 3: Ergonomics 1. ASP: Ergonomics When designing a workstation for a repetitive task, which of the following ergonomic principles is least likely to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders? Providing adjustable chair heights Implementing frequent rest breaks Increasing the reach distance to necessary tools Ensuring adequate lighting None 2. ASP: Ergonomics In the context of ergonomics, the "90-90-90 rule" is often applied to which of the following scenarios? The angles of elbows, hips, and knees when seated at a workstation The recommended decibel level for industrial work environments The percentage of time workers should spend standing, sitting, and walking The angle at which materials should be tilted on a work surface None 3. ASP: Ergonomics Which ergonomic assessment tool is specifically designed to evaluate the risk factors associated with manual material handling tasks? RULA (Rapid Upper Limb Assessment) REBA (Rapid Entire Body Assessment) NIOSH Lifting Equation MoRE (Movement and Reach Evaluation) None 4. ASP: Ergonomics In ergonomic risk assessment, what does the term "WISHA Lifting Calculator" refer to? A tool developed by the Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act to assess lifting tasks A formula used to calculate the ideal weight a person can lift without assistance A device that measures the weight of objects to be lifted in industrial settings An algorithm for predicting the likelihood of injuries in warehouse operations None 5. ASP: Ergonomics When considering the implementation of an ergonomics program, what is the primary objective of conducting a job hazard analysis (JH A) To identify and quantify the financial costs of ergonomics-related injuries To determine the most effective personal protective equipment (PPE) To identify job tasks that may contribute to musculoskeletal disorders To comply with employee requests for workplace modifications None 6. ASP: Ergonomics In ergonomic design, what is the significance of the term "neutral posture"? It refers to the body's alignment when all muscle groups are relaxed. It is the posture that requires the least amount of energy to maintain. It denotes a posture that reduces the stress and strain on the musculoskeletal system. It is the standardized posture recommended for all ergonomic assessments. None 7. ASP: Ergonomics How does the use of adjustable workstations impact employee ergonomics? They eliminate the need for manual lifting in the workplace. They allow for the customization of workspaces to fit individual needs. They standardize the height of all workstations to a fixed optimal level. They increase the speed of work, thereby reducing the time spent in one posture. None 8. ASP: Ergonomics What role does cognitive ergonomics play in workplace safety? It focuses solely on the physical arrangement of the workplace to prevent injuries. It addresses the mental workload and human-machine interactions to prevent cognitive overload. It is concerned with the temperature and lighting conditions that affect worker performance. It deals with the chemical hazards present in the work environment and their impact on worker cognition. None 9. ASP: Ergonomics In the context of office ergonomics, why is monitor placement significant? It affects the ambient lighting and temperature around the workstation. It influences the worker's posture, potentially leading to neck or eye strain. It is primarily concerned with reducing the electricity consumption of the computer. It determines the accessibility of emergency exits from the workstation. None 10. ASP: Ergonomics What is the primary ergonomic concern associated with the use of vibrating tools in the workplace? The potential for noise-induced hearing loss The risk of developing vibration-induced white finger (VWF) The likelihood of thermal burns from overheated equipment The chance of electrical shock from malfunctioning tools None 1 out of 10 Time is Up!
