If too much force is needed for a task, what should be the first ergonomic question?
Correct answer: A
Excess force often relates to tool design or work method. Exam tip: treat force as an ergonomic risk factor.
View question detailsIf an employee has back pain and lifts items from the floor, which measure is most suitable?
Correct answer: A
Repeated lifting from the floor can strain the waist. Exam tip: treat floor lifting as a risk.
View question detailsIn which situation will the work environment not be fully ergonomic even if temperature is correct?
Correct answer: A
Work environment includes lighting noise and air along with temperature. Exam tip: treat environment as a combined factor.
View question detailsIf pain remains even after ergonomic correction, what is the next appropriate step?
Correct answer: A
It is necessary to check results after correction. Exam tip: remember evaluation after ergonomic intervention.
View question detailsIn which situation is ergonomic benefit directly linked with safety?
Correct answer: A
A non-slip floor and an unobstructed pathway directly reduce the risk of slipping, tripping and falling. Therefore, this ergonomic arrangement is directly linked with safety. An expensive chair is not automatically safe or ergonomic; its size and adjustability must suit the user. Exam tip: for safety-related ergonomic measures, identify hazards such as slippery surfaces, clutter, poor lighting and obstructions.
View question detailsWhy are worker height weight and ability considered in ergonomics?
Correct answer: A
Physical differences affect work comfort and safety. Exam tip: remember human variability.
View question detailsIf an employee has shoulder pain at the end of the day, which combination should be checked?
Correct answer: A
Shoulder pain can relate to height reach and repeated work. Exam tip: check many causes of shoulder pain.
View question detailsWhich option states the ergonomic benefit in the most balanced way?
Correct answer: A
Ergonomics adapts work, tools and the workplace to a person’s physical and mental capabilities. It improves comfort, reduces fatigue and injury risk, supports health and safety, and increases work efficiency. Increasing speed alone is not an ergonomic benefit if it raises fatigue or accident risk. Exam tip: look for options that combine comfort, safety, health and efficiency.
View question detailsIf a worker bends from the waist instead of bending knees while lifting, which risk increases?
Correct answer: A
Lifting by bending the waist puts more pressure on the back. Exam tip: remember safe lifting posture.
View question detailsIn which situation is reduced absence along with less fatigue an ergonomic benefit?
Correct answer: A
Less pain and injury can help employees remain regular. Exam tip: link health benefit with attendance.
View question detailsIf micro-breaks are given but the tool is too heavy, which risk remains?
Correct answer: A
Even with breaks, a heavy tool can keep straining the body. Exam tip: one correction does not remove all risks.
View question detailsFrom an ergonomic view, which type of work needs the most caution?
Correct answer: A
Repetition force and wrong posture together increase injury risk. Exam tip: remember combined risk factors.
View question detailsIf work requires repeatedly bending down to pick light files, which correction is useful?
Correct answer: A
Even light objects can strain the back when lifted repeatedly from low level. Exam tip: check repetition and height together.
View question detailsWhich option gives the most complete view of workplace ergonomics?
Correct answer: A
Workplace ergonomics means designing or adjusting work, tools, the workplace and the work environment according to human capabilities and limitations to improve safety, comfort and efficiency. Therefore, option A is the most complete view. Option B covers only one part of ergonomics—suitable furniture—and not the entire work system. Exam tip: identify ergonomics by the fit between the person, the work and the work environment.
View question detailsIf a worker is tired after work but has no pain, why is ergonomics still important?
Correct answer: A
Fatigue can be an early sign of ergonomic risk caused by poor posture, unsuitable tool or work height, repetitive work, or insufficient rest. A fatigued worker may lose concentration, make errors, and face a greater risk of accidents or later musculoskeletal injury. The absence of pain does not prove that the work setup is safe. Exam tip: ergonomics aims to prevent fatigue, errors, and injury, not merely to treat pain.
View question detailsAt the workplace, observing first then correcting and then reviewing shows which process?
Correct answer: A
Observation correction and review show the real effect. Exam tip: treat ergonomic improvement as a process.
View question detailsIf an employee gets less stretching, less noise, and better lighting, what result is possible?
Correct answer: A
Less stretching and good environment improve attention and comfort. Exam tip: check physical and environmental factors together.
View question detailsWhich statement does not show the correct aim of ergonomics?
Correct answer: D
Ergonomics is not meant to increase discomfort. Exam tip: identifying the wrong purpose is important.
View question detailsWhat should be the best final goal while applying ergonomics?
Correct answer: A
The goal of ergonomics is balance of health safety comfort and efficiency. Exam tip: remember the final goal as a whole.
