If grip repeatedly slips during a task, which ergonomic aspect is weak?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Tool handle and grip design
Repeated slipping indicates that the tool handle or grip design is not suitable for the hand, friction, or control required for the task. A well-designed grip improves control and reduces risks such as dropping the tool, cuts, and fatigue. Rest breaks may reduce fatigue, but they do not directly correct a slipping grip. Exam tip: Link questions about grips, handles, and control with tool design and safety.
