If there is good lighting but too much noise at the workplace, which benefit will be affected?
Correct answer: A
Excess noise can reduce attention and mental comfort. Exam tip: link noise control with work efficiency.
View question detailsIf people of different heights work at the same workstation, which solution is more useful?
Correct answer: A
Adjustable arrangement can suit the needs of different people. Exam tip: treat adjustable features as ergonomic benefits.
View question detailsHow does ergonomics help in improving work quality?
Correct answer: A
Ergonomics fits the task, tools and workplace to the worker’s abilities and needs. It reduces discomfort and fatigue, helping the worker maintain attention and perform tasks more accurately; therefore, work quality improves. Increasing errors is the opposite of quality improvement and may result from poor ergonomics. Exam tip: link ergonomics with comfort, safety, reduced fatigue and better performance.
View question detailsIf a worker has to turn the neck repeatedly to see the screen, which correction is correct?
Correct answer: A
A screen in front reduces unnecessary neck turning. Exam tip: remember the relation between screen position and neck.
View question detailsIn which situation would changing the handle of a household tool be a suitable ergonomic correction?
Correct answer: A
A painful handle can strain the hand and wrist. Exam tip: remember grip comfort in household tools.
View question detailsIf heavy items must be lifted from below waist level, which change will reduce risk?
Correct answer: A
Safe height reduces bending and back strain while lifting. Exam tip: remember storage height of heavy items.
View question detailsIn which situation can ergonomic correction also improve mental comfort?
Correct answer: A
Low noise and clear arrangement can reduce stress and improve focus. Exam tip: link mental comfort with environment.
View question detailsIf height and lighting are proper but work continues too long without pause, what is lacking?
Correct answer: A
Breaks are needed with good arrangement to reduce fatigue. Exam tip: consider work duration in ergonomics.
View question detailsWhich statement is wrong from an ergonomic view?
Correct answer: B
Keeping heavy objects very high increases injury risk. Exam tip: identify wrong ergonomic practices.
View question detailsIn which situation can an organisation directly benefit from ergonomics?
Correct answer: A
Less fatigue and better quality can increase organisational productivity. Exam tip: remember efficiency as an organisational benefit.
View question detailsIf balanced use of both hands is possible in a task, why is it ergonomically good?
Correct answer: A
Balanced use of both hands distributes the workload instead of placing continuous demand on one hand, wrist, and arm. This can reduce local fatigue and the risk of repetitive strain or injury, making the task ergonomically better. Requiring more force or increasing awkward posture are ergonomic risks, not benefits. Exam tip: In ergonomics, options that improve load distribution, force, and posture are usually correct.
View question detailsWhich change can reduce walking, bending, and searching time in a kitchen?
Correct answer: A
Easy reach and labelling make kitchen work safe and efficient. Exam tip: remember reach and organisation together.
View question detailsIf a new tool feels heavy to an employee, what should be checked in ergonomic assessment?
Correct answer: A
A heavy tool can increase fatigue and strain during long use. Exam tip: consider tool weight an ergonomic factor.
View question detailsAfter applying ergonomic correction, which sign can show success?
Correct answer: A
Reduced complaints can indicate the effect of correction. Exam tip: check outcomes after improvement.
View question detailsIn which work arrangement will total body strain be the least?
Correct answer: A
Several good ergonomic elements together reduce body strain. Exam tip: prioritise complete arrangement.
View question detailsIf a worker works fast but feels constant pain, what conclusion is correct ergonomically?
