Ergonomic Assessments
 If you have employees experiencing work area discomfort, contact us today to arrange for a job analysis ergonomic assessment.

Ergonomics is the science of fitting a work area to a worker.  The purpose is to reduce the amount of strain on the body while maintaining production.  We analyze the work process then adjust the work area to accomplish the necessary tasks. 

Workers whose workstations are poorly matched to them can suffer a wide array of discomforts or even injury depending on the task and physical arrangement of the work area. Neck, back and shoulder strain, visual difficulties, headache, hand, arm, wrist, ankle and foot pain are some potential indicators of a work area in need of ergonomic adjustment.

The purpose of an ergonomics program is to proactively eliminate work-related Ergonomics Risk Factors and prevent or reduce workplace-acquired musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) by providing management leadership and employee involvement in the identification, correction and elimination of such risk factors, through information dissemination, education and training on an on-going basis

These risk factors include:

• awkward postures

• repetition

• material handling

• force

• mechanical compression

• vibration

• temperature extremes

• glare

• inadequate lighting

• duration

If you make early identification and prevention of WMSDs and their risk factors a number one priority, you will preserve and protect your work force and dramatically decrease related costs.

• Reduce the potential for fatigue, error, or unsafe acts by adapting the job and workplace to the workers' physical capabilities and limitations.

• Reduce absenteeism and worker turnover.

• Increase the overall work productivity and quality.

• Reduce workers' compensation claims and associated costs.

• Improve overall military readiness.
  
  

  	Ergonomics Programs Save Money It's a fact! Ergonomics Programs prevent and reduce workplace injuries. Ergonomics can design a safe work environment and can also result in greater efficiency and productivity. But did you know that Ergonomics Programs can save hundreds of thousands of dollars in reduced lost time, workers' compensation claims and costs, and improved productivity?
