Ergonomics Assessments

According to the Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA), companies in the United States spend at least $170 billion annually on occupational injuries. Fortunately, OSHA also points out that businesses can reduce their injury and illness costs by up to 40% by implementing certain health and safety systems, including proper ergonomics training. We work with you to determine if there are modifications that can be made to your home or work environment to reduce your risk of injury.

Injuries sustained from poor ergonomics

  • Cervical strain and pain (including a new phenomenon called “text neck”)
  • TMJ dysfunction and tension headaches
  • Carpal tunnel syndrome (median nerve entrapment at the wrist)
  • Tendonitis (inflammation in tendons)
  • Rotator cuff strains and tears
  • Medial or lateral epicondylitis (golfer’s or tennis elbow, respectively)
  • Trigger finger
  • Back pain caused by injuries to the muscles, joints, or discs

Job Demands Analysis

Hiring the perfect employee means articulating an accurate description of all necessary duties and labor-intensive functions of that job. A job demand analysis (JDA) will help determine the physical demands the tasks require. The insight gained from this analysis will also safeguard you from any laws and regulations.  Attracting the right employee also helps you maintain a safe environment for all employees.

Other benefits include:

  • Reduced injuries
  • Appropriate treatment and rehabilitation
  • Timely and sustained return-to-work
  • Return to work and accommodation decisions that are defensible
