Ergonomics For Auto Repair Shop

We are happy to present our readers with simple ergonomics rules. Use our rules and WORK SMARTER, NOT JUST HARDER.

1. LIFT SMART

Don’t lift heavy loads with your back.  Bend your knees, and get help. Get a dolly or a cart. Get a hoist.

2. MODIFY HEIGHT AND REACH

Don’t overreach. Bring it lower and closer

3. USE THE RIGHT TOOL

Don’t use the wrong tool.  Use a power tool or a tool that fits your hand.
