States that the purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which companies were investing in ergonomic equipment as a prevention strategy, and whether there was a relationship between such investments and positive results in four areas: increased productivity, increased quality, decreased workers’ compensation costs and improved employee morale. Using chi‐square analysis, a significant difference was found for those who invested in automatic sewing equipment in both increased productivity and increased quality. Provides justification for companies to invest in ergonomic equipment because of additional benefits.
