Planning Support
Risk Assessment: We conduct a thorough onsite risk assessment of the current work environments to prioritize risk, pinpoint current ergonomics challenges, and identify cost effective improvement strategies to formulate design recommendations.
Education & Training: Designing Healthy Work Environments is an accredited, stakeholder level educational program designed to elevate awareness of how to integrate ergonomics principles into any work environment while avoiding common pitfalls. Key research developments in the areas of seating, input device design, sit/stand, display technology, and lighting are discussed.
Ergonomics Strategy & Process: Our team develops a comprehensive ergonomics strategy and process for selecting workstation components based on relevant industry standards and guidelines. Additionally, we complete an analysis of occupant requirements, tasks, and work tools to aid in the integration of ergonomics design principles.
Design Support
Design Review: We can conduct a thorough expert review of the proposed workstation design and associated equipment standards to identify potential hazards and concerns from a healthy and safety perspective. The design will also be checked against current ergonomics standards to ensure compliance.
Mock-Up Evaluation: Evaluating work tools for performance and usability is a critical step in the process that is often overlooked from an ergonomics perspective. This step ensures that the specified work tools will perform as intended.
Post Move Program
Post Move Ergonomics Training Program: This service combines employee training sessions with individualized workstation fittings to raise ergonomic awareness while ensuring proper utilization of all installed work tools.
Post Move Ergonomics Support: This step is important for maintaining occupant well-being once the space is occupied. We can help establish a recurring training schedule, policy and procedural documents, performance metrics, and tips sheets.

Identification of Musculoskeletal Risk Factors
We conduct a thorough onsite risk assessment of the current work environments to prioritize risk, pinpoint current ergonomics challenges, and identify cost effective improvement strategies to formulate design recommendations.
Task Analysis
Tasks often dictate posture, rest break schedules, and joint movement. A task analysis is helpful to determine which tasks could benefit the most from ergonomics intervention.
Employee Interviews
Speaking with employees helps improve our understanding of challenges that can be difficult to measure through observation alone. These include worker comfort, equipment challenges and environmental considerations. Historically, the feedback has proved invaluable.
Equipment Review
Workstation design and configuration are often linked directly to worker discomfort. Our ergonomists can conduct a review of each workstation design to ensure compliance with current ergonomics standards.
Environmental Conditions
The ambient environment is linked to worker health and performance. The following environmental conditions can be assessed as necessary:
- Lighting
- Acoustics & Noise
- Thermal conditions
“Effective ergonomics programs improve worker comfort, reduce risk of injury, and decrease employer costs. We've worked tirelessly to build a global partner network that can deliver consistent and scalable world-class ergonomics services anywhere in the world.”
