Ergonomics
Common sense, working solutions
Do you need a plan to focus your energies and budgeting? Here is how to get the most bang for your buck!
Our multifaceted approach to common sense ergonomic interventions allows for seamless integration into existing processes:
- Lean
- Six Sigma
- Kaizen
- Voluntary Protection Program
Ergonomics should not be expensive and difficult. We uniquely look at and implement a hierarchy of strategies that range from no cost, instantaneous intervention to budgeted, long term planning to proactively address an existing problem.
Assessment
Ergonomic principles are a method of assessing potential or current problems and creating working solutions. Whether your issues are with productivity, injuries, design or quality, we will assist you in finding the solution that works for you.
When ergonomic changes and processes are implemented as part of the business plan, it has been shown to return $3 for every $1 spent.
If you are in the planning stages of a new start-up; redesigning a current product; or working on improving existing facilities; then an ergonomic consultation is right for you.

Root Cause Analysis
No matter the industry, workplace near misses, accidents and injury, disrupt the workplace.
Conducting a root cause analysis identifies cause and solutions to assist in abatement of a problem.
A root cause analysis is not just for workplace accidents. You can use a root cause analysis to determine if a specific activity or task is potentially a cause for an injury.
Use RCAs to Resolve:
- Injuries
- Near Misses
- Quality Control Problems
- Work Process Errors
- Health and Safety Issues
- Equipment or Tool Failure
- Malfunction or Incorrect Usage
Facility Risk Mapping
- Do you have areas of your manufacturing site that has injuries, but you are not able to pinpoint which activities are causing the problems?
- Do you have injuries, but there is no apparent pattern to where and why you are having them?
- Do you have production issues that you are unable to correct?
Facility risk mapping is a way to determine a hierarchy of problems and severity, then helps you prioritize a course of action to begin addressing and solving the identified risks.
