Over half of all lost time work days are a result of musculo-skeletal injuries in the workplace. Successful companies have combated the rise in workers compensation by establishing a sound ergonomics program within their workplace. Ergonomics has been defined as "the science that examines the design of tools, equipment, and workplace layout to effectively interact with the human body." EMERGENCY ONE can assist you in identifying and controlling ergonomic risk factors that result in workplace musculo-skeletal disorders. Our ergonomists work with top management to establish a program that emphasizes management commitment and employee involvement. We will work with your team to identify the high-risk areas in your industry, evaluate the work-site to identify ergonomic stressors, and assist in recommending and implementing controls to reduce the incidence and severity of work-related injuries.
Our program includes the following elements:
