Gutekunst, Kevin R. and Fogleman, Maxwell T. (1988): An Ergonomics Program to Control Cumulative Trauma Disorders in a Manufacturing Environment. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors Society 32nd Annual Meeting 1988. pp. 656-659.

Cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) at a manufacturing facility rose greatly from 1985 to 1986 and remained high through 1987. This rise resulted in time lost by injured workers and greater employee compensation for medical expenses. An action team evaluated the problem and suggested both short-term solutions and a long-term program for fewer CTDs. This work included historical research, job observation, videotape, interviews, and direct involvement of the workers. Short-term solutions included work station redesign, developing tailored holding fixtures, and designing ergonomic tools. The long-term program suggested a job rotation scheme, education about the causes and prevention of CTDs, and continued action team involvement. These efforts will continue, and the lessons learned will be applied at other company sites.
