• Description:
  Researchers designed and tested a survey instrument for measuring ergonomics climate, called the Ergonomics Climate Assessment (ECA). The ECA asked employees whether their company utilizes sound ergonomic practices to improve both productivity and worker well-being (e.g., health and safety). Researchers administered the survey instrument to employees of an earth-moving equipment manufacturer, collecting and analyzing 706 responses. See abstract: http://bit.ly/1RdZZF6.
