What is an Industrial Ergonomics Assessment?
An industrial ergonomics assessment is a systematic evaluation of the workplace, tasks, and processes to identify ergonomic risk factors that may lead to musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) or other injuries among employees. This assessment involves analyzing how employees interact with their work environment, including their posture, the tools they use, the layout of their workspace, and the physical demands of their job tasks.
Our team of ergonomics and injury prevention experts conduct thorough evaluations of work tasks and processes to identify and quantify potential ergonomic hazards. Ergonomic evaluations reduce the chances of getting hurt at work by looking at and improving how people do their jobs, how tasks are managed, and the tools used.
This includes:
- Comprehensive analysis of the design and layout of the workspace to ensure it promotes efficiency and minimizes strain on workers
- Evaluating the use of tools and equipment to determine if they are ergonomically suitable and if they facilitate safe and comfortable use
- A detailed examination of workers' exposure to various ergonomic risk factors, such as the application of excessive force, which can lead to muscle strain or injury; repetitive motions, which can cause fatigue and long-term damage to joints and tendons; and awkward postures, which can result in discomfort and musculoskeletal disorders
By addressing these elements, ergonomics assessments are a critical tool for organizations looking to enhance workplace safety and employee well-being. By identifying and addressing ergonomic risk factors, companies can create healthier, more productive work environments, ultimately benefiting both employees and the organization as a whole.
Benefits of Industrial Ergonomics Solutions
Safeguard Your Workforce
Protect your employees from preventable muscle and joint injuries and ensure a safe working environment.
Boost Productivity
Increase efficiency and reduce downtime by providing employees with comfortable, good ergonomic equipment and a safe work environment.
Reduce Healthcare Costs
Lower the direct and indirect costs of treating cumulative trauma, work-related injuries, workers’ compensation, and improve overall health and wellness.
Identify and Address High Risk Tasks
Industrial environments typically include "red flag work tasks" which register high for ergonomic risk, such as repetition, force, and awkward and sustained postures. This risk often leads to frequent and expensive injuries and claims.
Is your ergonomics program on track to reduce the risk of these avoidable injuries and claims?
