Staying in one position for long periods can lead to circulatory and musculoskeletal issues. Standing mats, sit-stand workstations, and encouraging movement can help reduce this risk.

High rates of task repetition, especially when combined with other risks, can lead to repetitive strain injuries. Mitigate with job rotation, sufficient breaks, and work redesign.

Performing the same motion or series of motions continually or frequently can lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Mitigation strategies include task variation, regular breaks, and ergonomic tools/workstations.

Holding positions that place stress on the body can lead to injury over time. Mitigation includes redesign of workstations, adjustable furniture, and proper training on body mechanics.

Excessive force can lead to musculoskeletal injuries. Strategies to reduce risk include mechanical aids, job rotation, and redesign of tools to require less force.

Lifting heavy loads can cause back and muscle injuries. Use lifting aids, employee training on proper lifting techniques, and reengineering of lifting tasks can mitigate this risk.

Exposure to vibration, especially hand-arm vibration, can cause nerve damage and blood flow problems. Solutions include anti-vibration tools, gloves, and limiting exposure time.
