Which statement is true regarding ergonomic assessments?

The statement indicating that ergonomic assessments can help identify potential risk factors is accurate because these assessments are designed to analyze workplace environments and tasks to determine elements that may contribute to discomfort, injury, or inefficiency. By evaluating the work conditions, ergonomists can identify specific risk factors such as awkward postures, repetitive motions, or excess force that could lead to musculoskeletal disorders. This proactive approach allows organizations to make informed decisions about necessary adjustments or interventions to improve worker safety and comfort.

In contrast, assessments are not limited by time frames like once a year; they should occur regularly or when significant changes in work conditions happen. They are also relevant to organizations of all sizes, not just large corporations, and should be carried out in various settings, including remote work environments, where ergonomic risks can also be present.
