Through a combination of technical expertise and practical experience, Ergo-ology will track the source of your workplace risk and recommend the most comprehensive, cost-effective solutions. The solutions we recommend will improve productivity, quality, safety and worker comfort. Our recommendations will include cost justifications (ROI) to support most improvements.
The purpose of this analysis is to identify workstations and tasks that have ergonomic risk and prioritize the need for corrective action implementation. It is most valuable for facilities that do not have a known list of problem jobs and need a general check-up of the facility.
Key Benefits:
The purpose of this analysis is to dissect a known list of problem jobs. Through the use of technical devices and equipment, the level of risk by body part will be collected and analyzed. Many would consider this a deep-dive assessment to determine the root cause and its risk effect.
Key Benefits:
A Physical Demands Analysis (PDA) is a systematic procedure to quantify and document all of the physical and environmental demand components of a job. This analysis evaluates the job conditions and not the individual (employee) by focusing on the demands of all essential and nonessential job tasks.
Key Benefits:
Quantified measurements of:
The purpose of an office screening is to provide a group of employees a general check-up of their workstation. Screenings allow for employees to ask questions and to receive expert suggestions on modifications. Office screenings are best for proactive offices, ensuring employees are properly set up while working at the computer.
Key Benefits:
The purpose of this analysis is to individually assess a specific office employee’s workstation and equipment, make adjustments and provide recommendations to items that would be of benefit for purchase and implementation. This is primarily best for employees having discomfort and/or have a special situation.
Key Benefits:
Ergo-ology employs the world’s most widely recognized methods of data collection supported by a foundation of advanced ergonomic assessment tools. Most workplace assessments can pinpoint risk using simple workplace awareness tools. For more advanced cases, tools like force gauges, motion capture (video recording) and physiological measures such as respiratory exchange VO2 and blood lactate levels are required for more detailed analysis.
Our goal is to provide you with solutions that will exert a positive impact on your productivity and improve employee safety, and yet are cost-effective. After each risk has been identified, ergo-ology will provide solutions prioritized by lowest cost and highest impact.
