ERGONOMIC EVALUATION
Ergonomics is the science of fitting the job to the worker.It facilitates maximum productivity, consistent quality, and long-term worker health and safety by acknowledging, identifying and reducing or eliminating risk factors which pose biomechanical stresses (force, repetition, awkward postures, static positions, contact stress, vibration and cold temperatures) to the worker.

The goal of an ergonomic evaluation is to identify ergonomic risk factors and determine the most effective strategy for controlling or eliminating the potentially harmful effects of force, repetition, awkward postures, static positions, contact stress, vibration and cold temperatures.

A specially trained physical or occupational therapist conducts an on-site assessment of work activities, identifies of risk factors, makes recommendations for controls and re-evaluates the effectiveness of changes implemented.

We generate a comprehensive report that provides a focus for improving ergonomics, developing an ergonomics program and decreasing risk factors in your company's work environment.

A proactive ergonomics program enhances productivity by allowing the worker to be more efficient and more productive.A well-designed workstation improves human performance by eliminating excessive, non-productive motions and thereby improving worker efficiency and cycle times. This translates into increased productivity and increased profit margins.

By investing in a more efficient process, industries also invest in a healthier workforce. This means decreased worker's compensation costs, lost time injuries and retraining/replacement expenses.
