Hairdressers and Ergonomics
The "ergoHAIR- project - development and promotion of a healthy and safe working environment through the design of ergonomic workplaces and work processes in the hairdressing sector - run by coiffureEU, the European association of national employers' organisations in hairdressing, has been finalised after 3 years.
The products that have been developed are available on the ERGOHAIR website, as well as on the website www.ergoforhairdressers.com, which has been developed to focus on younger people.
Both websites provide lots of products and resources, such as an online questionnaire, medical reference documents, a collection of good practice examples on ergonomics for hairdressers, ergonomic tips for employees and for employers, ergonomic tips for training and education, ergonomic tips for suppliers and other ergonomic tips.
The ergoHAIR project will be referenced by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) in the new biannual campaign (2020-2022) concerning "Musculoskeletal conditions".
