Ergonomic Assessments.

We begin our comprehensive ergonomic assessment by conducting an in-depth interview to understand all the factors that affect your employee’s individual work place comfort and efficiency. We look at how each employee interacts with their office and environment, as well as considering personal after work activities that may be affecting the employee.

In addition to discussing job tasks and symptoms of pain or discomfort, the subsequent assessment reviews different components of the workstation, including chair; desk or workstation; computer system arrangement; computer accessories, and any other work-related equipment. We observe the employee during regular job tasks and take measurements of body dimensions and workstation heights. Our skilled consultants will then provide immediate feedback regarding chair adjustment, neutral working postures, computer setup, keyboarding and mouse use techniques, and general healthy work habits.

Once the assessment is complete, we provide a detailed report of observations and recommendations.

The duration of individual assessments depends on the severity of discomfort and the amount of training required. When the individual has symptoms and has not received previous ergonomic training, the assessment usually takes a maximum of 60 minutes.

FOLLOW-UP VISITS

We conduct follow-up visits after clients implement our recommendations. During these visits we determine whether new equipment has been installed, adjusted, and used properly, and ensure with hands on training that employees are successfully adopting new work practices. Follow up visits are necessary to gauge recovery and address any unresolved issues.

COMPANY-WIDE RISK ASSESSMENTS

These assessments include specific departments or the entire company. We evaluate equipment, employee techniques and postures and produce written reports of risk factors and recommendations for implementation of ergonomic equipment and training.

PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS

We have a comprehensive understanding of available products, but are not bound by any contractual agreements. We have no proprietary agreements or contracts with any product vendors. We not only tell you what you need — we also tell you what you don’t need. Your current tools used in a more efficient manner may be all that’s needed to improve your employees’ working conditions.

Our independence allows us to recommend what’s actually necessary for your employees to work more comfortably and efficiently. We help you save money.
