Ergonomics

Enhancing employee well-being and productivity while creating a safe and productive workplace.

Organizations have a responsibility to safeguard the health, safety, and well-being of their people. By understanding, identifying, and correcting potential ergonomic challenges, you can minimize employee discomfort and potentially costly musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Providing ergonomically sound equipment, properly designed workstations, and employee training can improve productivity, enhance employee retention, and minimize the risk of costly workers’ compensation claims. Our team can help you achieve these goals.

Tailored solutions for your business

Whether you're experiencing an increase in claims, taking proactive actions to prevent soft tissue injuries and discomfort, or want to boost your team’s productivity, our board-certified ergonomic specialists are equipped to help you identify and address the specific challenges facing your business. We offer expertise in both virtual office ergonomics and industrial settings, with experience across a wide variety of industries. Our specialists can analyze your operations and develop cost-effective strategies tailored to your unique needs.

Industrial ergonomics

Our team of consultants has extensive experience across sectors, enabling us to address a broad spectrum of risks and businesses. We conduct gap analyses to assess essential ergonomic program elements, including employee involvement, management commitment, and training. Our specialists use this comprehensive analysis to identify ergonomic risks within your workplace and provide advice and solutions aligned with generally accepted industry best practices.

We work closely with your internal teams to develop customized solutions that integrate into your broader risk management strategy. Our focus is on helping your people minimize physical stress through Safe Motion Dynamics training, stretch and flex program development, and safe route delivery for drivers and material handling associates.

In addition, our team will assist in designing, selecting, and using the proper tools, equipment, workstations, and processes to help mitigate these risks. Our services include Kaizen workshops aimed at identifying low cost and high impact improvements, ergonomic risk assessments to quantify and manage risks, and design checklists to proactively address MSD risks in the planning and design stages of new processes.

Virtual office ergonomics

Sitting at a desk for prolonged periods can contribute to various health effects such as backaches, shoulder pain, neck strain, and eye fatigue. If left unaddressed, these challenges can develop into long-term disorders, leading to significant pain, missed workdays, and workers' compensation claims. Our experienced virtual office ergonomics specialists provide live support to employees, helping them identify potential hazards and implement remedies to address soft tissue injuries.

We offer virtual consultations where employees experiencing discomfort can request an ergonomic evaluation. Through phone or video calls, our ergonomists evaluate the issue, make adjustments and recommendations, and provide employees with a formal report detailing the assessment results. We follow up with employees to ensure their issues are resolved.

Our credentialed ergonomists also provide on-site consultations that allow them to work directly with your employees. They conduct extensive reviews of workspaces and equipment, discuss specific challenges, make immediate adjustments, and provide equipment recommendations as necessary.  

We also offer training videos customized to your employees' needs, covering topics such as body posture, workstation setup, and equipment use. Furthermore, we can assist in program management, helping you design and manage your ergonomics program by providing assistance in a multitude of areas, such as policies and procedures, equipment selection, vendor management, and assessment processes. Our ergonomists are also available to attend on-site events, promoting the benefits of ergonomics and allowing us to answer questions and provide recommendations.
