This Chapter provides the reader with basic tools in the form of checklists to identify ergonomics related risk factors in a workplace. In the present context an ergonomics programme is regarded as a systematic approach to anticipating, identifying, analysing and controlling ergonomics-related hazards. The hazard identification process provides the data needed to identify, control, and prevent work-related injuries and illnesses.enErgonomicsMinesOccupational hygieneMining healthMining safetyErgonomics risk factorsRisk assessmentErgonomics-related hazardsHygieneErgonomicsBook ChapterSchutte, P., & James, J.
