Ergonomic Assessments (risk analysis and solution development)
- Focus on both risk and productivity
- Offer customized solutions (opportunities for improvement) based on the company’s specific capabilities and goals
- Focus first on behavioral changes and use of existing equipment and then provide objective and unbiased recommendations (unlike a lot of other ergonomic companies we do not sell products nor do we receive commissions)
- Assessments can be specific to one employee and their complaints or medical condition or the assessment can be general for an entire department.
Ergonomics training
- Ergonomics for Employees – a training class for employees to learn practical ergonomic principles that can be applied regardless of where you are (e.g., office, assembly, manufacturing, healthcare, home).
- Ergonomics Team Training (train the trainer) – designed to educate key team members to become on-site office ergonomic champions. We educate them on assessing ergonomic risks, developing solutions and educating other employees.

We discuss basic ergonomics principles, musculoskeletal disorders and symptoms, proper positioning, and effective use of office equipment and furniture or industrial/manufacturing equipment.
