The correct answer is: Chapter 23

Chapter 23 of the OPNAVINST 5100.23 Series specifically addresses ergonomic hazards and provides comprehensive guidance on how to protect workers from these risks. Ergonomics focuses on the interaction between workers and their work environment, aiming to enhance comfort and performance while minimizing the likelihood of injuries. This chapter outlines various ergonomic principles, assessments, and controls that can be integrated into the workplace to improve workers' health and safety. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing potential ergonomic risks, such as repetitive motions, poor workstation setup, and manual handling, while also detailing methods for mitigating these hazards through proper design and training. Other chapters in the OPNAVINST may cover different safety aspects, such as general workplace safety or specific hazardous materials, but Chapter 23 is uniquely dedicated to addressing ergonomic issues, making it essential for protecting workers in environments where these hazards may exist.
