Ergonomic Services
Ergonomics focuses on the design of jobs, tools, objects, systems and environment for maximum human comfort, error reduction
and efficiency. Ergonomic injuries, including back and repetitive motion illnesses, account for more than half of all workers
compensation claims. These injuries are typically chronic, developing over time.
An ergonomic assessment begins with a review of OSHA injury logs to look for injury trends by job type or department. Frequency
and severity trends are addressed through a Job Safety Hazard Analysis process where each task step is documented and analyzed
for force, frequency or posture issues. Our loss control professionals can conduct the analysis or they can train company
staff to conduct their own ergonomic assessments. A company’s own staff often has greater knowledge of the tasks and potential
solutions. Production engineers make excellent contributions to the success of ergonomic interventions, by making the process
less ergonomically stressful and more productive.
Ergonomic services are conducted using the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's six ergonomic guidelines:
- Identification of potential musculoskeletal problems in the workplace through accident analysis and/or complaints
- Teamwork Implementation by gaining management commitment and encouraging worker involvement, particularly for problem solving
- Training of management, supervisors and employees
- Job Safety Hazard Analysis conducted by breaking jobs down into steps and analyzing each step for force, frequency and postural hazards
- Solution Review and Resolution by identification of effective controls for ergonomic hazards with follow up to determine success
- Medical management of ergonomic injuries that emphasizes early detection and treatment

Office Ergonomics
Repetitive motion injuries are the most common type of office injury, followed by back injuries and trips and falls. Work
station adjustability, change of task or minibreaks and medical management are key to ergonomic stress reduction. Employees
should be encouraged to really give ergonomic changes a chance post implementation.
Industrial Ergonomics
Back injuries are the most common type of injury, followed by repetitive motion injuries. Force, frequency, lifted weights,
and postural hazard analysis are key to mitigating ergonomic injuries. In some cases, significant engineering/labor assists
or job rotation may be the only solutions. Medical management incorporates a return to work program at a “light duty” job.
