E-Learning Program - Office Ergonomics: Comfort at Work
If you haven’t tried our office ergo software, you should! This program allows users to adjust their own work stations, at their own pace. The program is interactive, including all the key office ergo adjustment criteria, and lots of interesting “did you know?” facts. It also includes a quiz, so participants can print a certificate for their HR file upon successful completion of the program. This software allows you to train literally hundreds of people with a flexible schedule, at a very reasonable cost. Click on the button below to find
out more about our e-learning software or to request a trial demo.

On-Site Ergonomist
In the role of your on-site ergonomist, we become a member of your team, “tayloring” our services to your needs. We prioritise our time to address the projects that are important to your company. We work hard to develop relationships within your organization that truly “advance ergonomics excellence”.
|
| |
|
 |
Training
We always enjoy conveying our knowledge and skills to others who are willing to listen. We hold several workshops throughout the year and will also work with you to create a customised workshop that can be held in-house or at an outside facility. Our workshops are interactive and allow ample opportunity to practice the skills as you learn them.

Physical Demands Descriptions
Our physical demands descriptions (PDDs) are concise, visual descriptions of job demands. Each step of the job includes a digital photograph, a description of postural demands for each body part, and a measurement of force demands. A work station layout and tool photo is also included. Our PDDs are validated by worker and management representatives to ensure accuracy and reliability.

Ergo Assessment
An ergonomics assessment is done to evaluate the risk of injury based on accepted ergonomics guidelines. We prioritise concerns according to the level of risk, and we work with your resources to develop solutions. We can provide ongoing support to carry the project through the implementation phase.

 |
Office Ergo Assessment
We conduct a pre-assessment survey, meet with the employee to understand his/her concerns, measure the work station and key employee dimensions, and then make adjustments to improve comfort, safety, and productivity. Any outstanding recommendations are summarised in a report, which includes photographs of the key concern areas and improvements made.

Ergo Design Guideline
We offer an ergo design guideline to allow engineers to incorporate ergonomic design principles at the conceptual phase of the project. The guideline includes specifications for seating, container design, carts, hoists, lighting, power tools, foot pedals, handles, work/job design, floor surface, PPE, displays, controls, clearance, working heights, reaches, conveyors, and more. The guideline is accompanied by a one day workshop for your design team.

Restriction Reviews
The restriction review is an evaluation of the match between a specific job and a specific worker. We use our PDD and the worker’s documented work restrictions to evaluate the match, and propose accommodations where possible.
|
| |
|
 |
Design Reviews
We review proposed equipment, tools, and layouts to identify potential ergonomics hazards, and then work with your internal resources to optimise the design of new jobs. This approach works proactively to eliminate ergonomics issues in your plant!

Heat Stress Policies
We evaluate the metabolic demands of selected jobs, and work with you to develop a heat stress prevention program that follows the ACGIH guidelines. We accompany the program with skill-based training to ensure that your heat stress response team is equipped to manage the program.
|

|

Awareness Programs
We have a variety of awareness materials available to help you elevate ergonomics understanding in your organization. These programs include a “Chair Aware” and stretching program, a series of “Lunch and Learn” sessions, and an Awareness Package that includes ergo contests (with prizes!) and “ergo thoughts of the day”.

Stretching/Chair Adjustment Sessions & Posters
We will develop a step-by-step guide on "How to adjust YOUR chair", and we'll print this on one side of a poster. A stretching poster will be printed on the flip side. This customised program comes with a one-hour on-site awareness session for your employees.

Program Development
We can use all of our services, and training, to develop a successful, proactive, ergonomics program in your facility. We use your internal resources and our experience to ensure that the program can become self-sufficient over time. We are currently involved, for example, in the development of ergonomics teams in plants throughout Canada for one of our ongoing clients. |
| |
|
| |
Seminars
We also offer one-hour lunch 'n' learn sessions to convey ergonomics awareness to professional groups, organisations, safety groups and conference delegates. Although we have lots of topics to work with, we are also interested in what ergonomics issues you or your organisation would like to hear about. Contact us to schedule a lunch 'n' learn session. |

Two guys work for the city: one furiously digs a hole, the other quickly fills the hole. A confused passerby asks, "Why do you dig a hole and fill it up again?" The digger leans on his shovel and replies, "The fellow who plants the trees is sick again today”.
