Ergonomics: definition, need and benefits

Question 1ExpertLevel 43

AWhen better layout also reduces time errors and costBWhen employees want comfortCWhen chair support is correctDWhen back pain reduces

Question 2ExpertLevel 43

If one task needs fine vision and another needs heavy force, why should their work heights not be identical?

ABecause posture and force needs change according to task natureBBecause all tasks need darknessCBecause height has no meaningDBecause workers are always identical

Question 3ExpertLevel 43

A worker repeatedly turns the neck to see a second screen. Which ergonomic principle is violated?

AKeeping main items in direct view and comfortable reachBKeeping work farther awayCKeeping every item highDRemoving breaks completely

Question 4ExpertLevel 43

If an organisation observes reduced absenteeism after ergonomic improvement, what is the most likely reason?

AHealth discomfort and injury risk reducedBEmployees stopped workingCOffice name changedDChairs only became expensive

Question 5ExpertLevel 43

Why is looking only at accident reports not enough while identifying ergonomic risks?

ABecause pain fatigue and near misses are also risk signsBBecause reports always show decorationCBecause accidents are never importantDBecause asking employees is wrong

Question 6ExpertLevel 43

Which option shows a systems approach to ergonomics?

ABlaming only the employeeBConsidering chair table lighting tools work duration and training togetherCChanging only wall colourDCalling every pain personal weakness

Question 7ExpertLevel 43

If workplace temperature is comfortable but ventilation is poor, what type of problem may still occur?

AReduced freshness and attentionBSalary increaseCWall becoming strongDChair adjusting automatically

Question 8ExpertLevel 43

In which situation are ergonomics and ethics both connected?

AIgnoring pain complaints to save costBAssessing workplace safely and making an improvement planCMaking employees work in discomfortDHiding injuries to show productivity

Question 9ExpertLevel 43

In a Home Science practical, fatigue increases due to repeatedly bending to pick materials. Which improvement is most precise?

AArrange materials according to use height and sequenceBKeep materials even lowerCReduce lightingDGive no breaks to students

Question 10ExpertLevel 43

If an ergonomic improvement made work faster but employee strain increased, what conclusion should be drawn?

AEvaluation is incomplete and comfort safety should also be checkedBWork speed is the only goalCEmployee complaints are always wrongDErgonomics has no relation with health

Question 11ExpertLevel 43

In which situation does proper labelling provide ergonomic benefit at the workplace?

AWhen labels are wrong and unclearBWhen tools are easy to identify and wrong use reducesCWhen labels confuse employeesDWhen there are no safety signs

Question 12ExpertLevel 43

Why is user feedback combined with technical inspection in ergonomics?

ABecause both real discomfort and objective risk must be understoodBBecause user experience is always uselessCBecause inspection is not neededDBecause feedback is only a formality

Question 13ExpertLevel 43

If a worker's elbow remains unsupported in the air while doing fine hand work, which risk will increase?

AHand and shoulder fatigueBSalary errorCWall dampnessDFood taste

Question 14ExpertLevel 43

Why is noise control included in ergonomics at the workplace?

ABecause noise can affect attention communication and mental fatigueBBecause noise always increases productivityCBecause noise has no relation with workDBecause noise is only entertainment

Question 15ExpertLevel 43

If a task causes pain in neck back and wrist together, what is the most appropriate ergonomic approach?

ABandage only the wristBCombined study of posture tools height reach and breaksCDeclare pain normalDIgnore work quality

Question 16ExpertLevel 43

Considering worker age and physical capacity in ergonomics indicates what?

ANeed for individual adaptationBAll tasks are sameCComfort is unnecessaryDSafety is not important

Question 17ExpertLevel 43

Which example gives the strongest evidence of economic benefit of ergonomics?

AAfter improvement injuries reduced absenteeism reduced and production became stableBWall colour changedCEmployees wore new uniformsDPosters increased in the office

Question 18ExpertLevel 43

If an employee works fast in a wrong posture and meets the target, is it ergonomically proper?

AYes because target is everythingBNo because pain injury and errors may increase in the long runCYes because wrong posture is always safeDNo because all fast work is wrong

Question 19ExpertLevel 43

Which type of mistake would be considered most serious in ergonomic design?

AIgnoring human limits and work risks while seeing only production targetsBTaking employee feedbackCChecking work heightDKeeping lighting adequate

Question 20ExpertLevel 43

If repeated errors occur at the same step, what would ergonomics examine?

AVisibility reach tools and fatigue factors of that stepBOnly employee nameCOnly leave listDOnly building colour
