Occupational Safety and Health Management System
Occupational Safety and Health Management System provides a set of tools that enhance safety, risk management efficiency related to all organization’s activity, it is a systematic means for employers to handle challenges and reduce haphazard attitudes to risk and problems in the work environment. It is an interdisciplinary field which encompasses among others, the disciplines of industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, occupational nursing,
engineering, epidemiology, and toxicology. It includes the surroundings and conditions that affect employees and other related persons at workplace. The prevention of work related injuries still remained as a major problem faced by all types of organization. OSH management system (OSHMS) is an integral part of the overall management system of the organization.(Levitt and Samelson, 1993).
Ergonomics risk factors
Ergonomics risk factors consist of internal risk factors which are work related and can cause musculoskeletal disorders. Examples of such factors are awkward postures,

heavy workload, static postures, prolonged sitting or standing, vibration from power tools, repetitive tasks and manual material handling. External factors include environmental factors such as temperature, stress and lightening which can indirectly contribute to musculoskeletal disorders too.(Lim, 2008).
