Ergonomic Evaluation & Site Assessments

This is a comprehensive analysis of the critical demands of work including physical, cognitive, and environmental requirements. This assists the rehabilitation process by objectively establishing the requirements of work in order to promote a healthy work environment and reduce discomfort and potential injuries through identification of risk factors associated with:

Awkward postures
Extended repetition
Static loading
Work demands
Pacing and break schedules
Facility-specific issues
Environmental issues (temperature, noise etc.)

Based on the results of the ergonomic evaluation, recommendations can be made to improve the workstation such as the purchase of ergonomic aids or worksite modifications (if possible) etc. This data can also be combined with the results of an FCE to paint a full picture regarding employability and/or sustainability in the workforce.
