What can be done about the problem of doggydoo? It may depend on the situation. Let's think about several different scenarios:
Walks: If you take your dog for a walk you should always be prepared for poop. You can almost be certain that if you are not prepared you will find yourself with doogydoo and a disgruntled fellow walker who sees your dog relieve himself and you looking around for a way to clean up the mess.
Always walk your dog with a plastic sack or other poop removal device. Many dog parks, trails and even neighborhoods have dispensers that come in handy for the poop removal but if you are not sure of this, you should come prepared with your own doogydoo sacks. There are even little dispensers that can be fastened to a belt or pockets. These dispensers hold quite a few sacks for dogs on the "go".
Even if you walk your dogs in rather isolated areas it is a good idea to plan on picking up any poop left by your dogs. It is the polite thing to do and other dog owners and non-dog owners alike will appreciate your efforts.
Maybe you hire a dog walker for those times when you know you will be gone for hours at a time. Most dog walkers come prepared for doggydoo and are very good about disposing of it properly but this is one thing you should ask about when you are hiring the dog walker.
At Home: If your dog spends a lot of time each day outside you will have a doogydoo situation right in your own back (or front) yard. If you want to clean up the area yourself you will find that there are several rather clever pooper-scoopers on the market. These come in handy when you would rather not have to pick up each pile of poop while bending over in an uncomfortable position. Check out the pooper-scoopers and find the one that is the best for you. It is better to get one that is made well and won't fall apart the first or second time you use it.
You can also hire someone to pick up the poop. There are pooper-scooper services in most cities. You will want to check around and find a service that is competitively priced and has the best service. You will need to decide how often you will need the service to make a visit.
Doogydoo pick-up need not be any awful task, especially if you are prepared. There are tools on the market made just for this kind of situation or there are professionals who can be hired.
Ergonomics is defined as the study of human factors and how they affect the design of equipment, systems, and jobs. The term human factors and ergonomics can be used interchangeably. The formal definition of ergonomics is: The scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of the interactions among human and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data and methods to design in order to optimize human well-being and overall system performance.
Ergonomics takes into consideration a person's size, strength, speed, visual acuity, and physiological stressors, such as fatigue, speed of decision making and demands on memory and perception. Ergonomics include the study of the work environment by considering the physical skills required, time and risk demands and strive to address these issue to improve working conditions . It studies how heat, noise, pollutants and airborne agents can affect workers and how these issues should be addressed. Product design is an important part of ergonomics and new products are continually coming on the market to improve work conditions by improving equipment design. Products such as ergonomically designed keyboards and chairs are common improvements in today's workforce.
Repetitive motions such as typing or long term use of a manual screwdriver can cause stress to the joints involved. Other activities such as using a jackhammer, lifting heavy objects or working while in an awkward position can cause ergonomic disorders. Most of these activities, if done on an occasional basis only, would not cause problems but when done on a continual basis, the effects become cumulative. Disorders such as Carpal Tunnel, Tendonitis and many back injuries are caused by repetitive motion. Work should not hurt and if you come home at the end of the day with sore shoulders and an aching back, chances are there needs to be some changes made to how things are done at work.
Most employers today are interested in having a healthy work environment for their workers because it means more productivity. It will mean less fatigue and less work lost to injury and illness. Happier workers will also mean that the employer will have less job turnover and thus save money by keeping employees and not having to train new ones every few months. If you have issues related to discomfort with equipment or the environment at your work, talk to your immediate supervisor to address the issues.
