strategies that maximize results and minimize costs.
interaction between people and their work. Implementation of a comprehensive
program is the only way to minimize and eventually eliminate the occurrence of a
family of illnesses called musculo-skeletal disorders (MSDs).
These illnesses have been a leading driver of occupational medical costs and lost
productivity for many years. Until recently, there has been little industry or
government focus on developing comprehensive ergonomics management
programs. That has changed. For a decade now, MSDs have been at the forefront
of the occupational safety and health stage. But even with this increased emphasis,
these illnesses are still responsible for hundreds of thousands of lost workday cases
and billions of dollars of loss each year.
A sound ergonomics program minimizes new exposures and manages existing
illnesses through an ongoing process of anticipation, identification, evaluation and
control. Since our services are risk reduction based, we have developed a
comprehensive program and toolbox. We’ll work with you to develop a risk profile
and facilitate a prioritized implementation of essential program elements.
Without a sound ergonomics program, you aren’t protecting your employees or your
bottom line.
