Epidemiologists utilize various methods to evaluate the effectiveness of ergonomic interventions. These include:
- Surveillance Systems: Monitoring injury and illness rates before and after interventions to assess impact. - Cohort Studies: Following groups of workers exposed to specific ergonomic interventions over time to observe health outcomes. - Case-Control Studies: Comparing workers with specific injuries to those without to identify factors contributing to injury and the role of ergonomic interventions.
